This poem describes my life, when some people look at me and my family they think I am fortunate to have such a big family. That is where people get it wrong. I am fortunate, I do have lots of family, and yes I should be garteful but the thing is with all that it looks like I have there is something nagging at me. I have all these health issues and not physical ones but mental ones and I have a hard time making friends so I am very lonely then there is the time in my life when I was taken away from every loved one I knew and was close to except for my mom and thrown into a place I knew nothing about. I was beat up, bullied, and taken for the worst time in my life but through it all I have leanred one thing. Give up and you die inside, keep going strong and you live like a free bird. Though I wasn't always strong through it all I learned how to be strong and I hope by reading this, you learn sooner rather than later that life will get you down but you must always get back up and fight.
