FAMILY UNRAVELED

My book opened up a world I didn't know lived within meI was forty years old when I truly connected with the writer and the poet within me at age eight, I was robbed of the right to love, like respect me for me I came to know bullying, racism, unacceptance, disconnectAnd definitely what allowed one to be accepted or not be accepted I hid a lot behind my smile and Laughter but when the rain would fall My God it fell nothing of of my life mattered my voice meant nothing so now I shall speak and be heard. I made my family my life had God not thrown me out a lifeline the writer in me would've never survivedand I would have never loved me
