Determined
I can't change the past,
but I can change the future.
I messed up a long time ago,
but my mistakes only made me wiser.
I am determined to become what I want to be.
I'm only sixteen with a baby,
but that's not stopping me!
She is my encouragement, my strength everyday.
I want to be better then what people say.
I made bad decisions and stopped caring for a while.
Then I realized how precious life is and I can make it worth wild.
I was never fortunate and been through more than they know.
And sooner or later it'll be my time to show!
I strive to be what I want to be and do what I have to do.
This rough life has never stopped me and neither should it stop you.
If you feel my pain and been in my shoes.
Don't give up, because if I can do it, you can do it to.
