Shall I rise or fall again? Shall I strice for nothing less than the best? Shall I be all that I am capable of being? I shall rise. I shall strive. I will be all that I can be. I will not be a failure. I cannot be an underachiever. I will never give up for what all can be mine. For I have fought many years to do what you can do and nothing shall change now. I have seen and felt the pain. I have been stripped away from my family with the intention that I will never see them again. For I have lived in the past and I an now faced to live for the future. I know it is not easy to go against everyone eles terms and choice but often you have to stand for what you know and believe is best for you. I cannot live through and inside of youbut youcan hear me speak and decide upon your life for thy own self. I son't want to rule you but I want you to do all that you can do to stand proud and tall about the rest. It is your choice to which road your life falls upon and you do what you feel is best but, always remember that you are somebody and what you said does now and will forever stand for something.
Reason for writing:
A great man by the name of Kyran Kwame Anderson has inspired me to use all of potential and to continue to write about what I knew and always felt.
In memory of you..
RIP
