I Am prideful because I am ashamed of the the things that I lacked growing up.
I am ashamed that I struggled to live up to my potential.
I Am
I allow very little people close to me
So I love hard and when I have hurt them it hurts me to my core.
I want to be a better me
I Am
I trust no one
I had adults let me down growing up
I had people close to me not have my back the way I had there’s
Why do I let these thing weight me down??
I am
I didn’t try hard in school
Never thought I was smart enough When I got to the white schools
And I just kept ******* up in school at the black ones.
I Am
I have light that I can’t grab onto
I want help
I Am ashamed... so I won’t ask and call it pride I make myself laugh
Iroh-“ pride is not the opposite to shame but its sorce, true humility is the only antidote for shame”
