Nineteen Years and Four Days Old

I have been blessed this I know

Showered with love, gifts, and toys

My family is always beside me

They hug me tight and kiss me sweetly

I long for the days of the past,

But I look forward to the days ahead

It's been rough, twisted, and discouraging,

But I'm still standing, loving, and breathing

I've always been proud of myself

I've always hoped for the best

My dreams, I make them come through

With help, I'm growing even stronger

I still have habits I need to break

I'm working on myself still

I'm progressing day by day

I need to learn more, earn more

I love my mother, my father, and my sister

I love myself even more they say

That's okay, they understand me best

They know I'm forever myself.
