I’ve been self taught since the day I was born. I taught myself to cry to allow oxygen to enter my lungs. I taught myself to hold by bottle cause I got tired or my mom taking it from me. I taught myself to lie when my mom asked me if I ate all the cookies. I taught myself to ride a bike when my father got fed up with teaching me. I taught myself to never make my father angry so I wouldn’t get no ahhh wooping. I taught myself math cause my teachers were not skilled enough to get it through my head. I taught myself science equations cause when my teacher spoke she made no sense. I taught myself to love myself cause I never knew if anyone would. I taught myself to love someone who never really loved me. I taught myself.
