I've been through the struggle!
have you?

I remember going days without food,and water

I remember going in and out of shelters, sleeping here and there

I remember having to ask and barrow money from people just to eat

I remember getting put out of a place I called home

I remember crying and praying for better days to come

I remember wearing the same clothes and shoes

I remember that deep fear that I had when I knew we were going to be homeless

I remember family/blood turning their backs on me

I remember dropping out of school because I didn't have the energy, support & motivation to learn....

I know the struggle
please believe me
because today I am still in the same struggle I remember.
