Born in this cold world

The day I enter the world July 12 1979 is the day I was born to 2 people that just didn't care about the safety and well-being of there child. It's been a long hard 43 years of living lots of ups and downs in my life. Growing up in the 1980's as a black person was hard nothing was easy for us it was a challenge not having money living in a low income community where drugs played a big part of our lives and took lots of black people down and my mom was one that got caught up in that mess and messed up my life. As a child I seen so much that was very traumatizing to me many nights I cried myself to sleep because of fighting and mom using drugs and not having a comfortable home to live in. I can remember many days going to school upset because of things that went on the night before in my home.
