I began life in rundown Toronto - a mother on crack
Brothers who watched each others back
I wasnt even one when we were alone
Mommy had been taken by police drones
We were taken my childrens aid
I dont remember but I know how we paid
Mommy was gone away not forever but today
She didnt come the next, or even after that day
I do she came home better and brought us together
Thirteen years later it happened again, mommy wanted to die
But why was I there, 911 help me please and I wanted to hide
Away I went again with my father this time, somewhere with love
But the problems still happened, now me here alone in my room
Afraid of life, wanting death wanting away- salvation came
My mommy is better and I can go home once again
Its class time now and homelessness is the topic
I cant listen I wish they would drop it
I love my brothers I have two one is well
The other is trying to survive, live and enjoy
I say its a choice- freedom, exploration, and understanding
The class just stares its true he learns more than I
Out in the street
One year later, I am seventeen
Im alone, cold desperate and unclean
Im in a shelter for the teens with mistakes
I want better than this Ill do what it takes
Today Im wise and brave Ive learned a lesson
Today I am 19 and I have began college
I made it, I knew I could do it, never again do I want that life
Do what you can and dream the dreams to strive for
The past was nothing but the future is forever
