My Story
Tell them my story…
Tell them how I spent my
Whole life in and out of the hospital.
At this point, my life is like a mathematical Equation, yeah I said a mathematical equation.
Tell them how I was poked and
Stabbed weekly. Tell them I had to
Laugh at my own pain Because like the song goes,
"I had no tears left to cry"
Tell them how I had to build myself up, so my
Pain couldn't win. So yea,
Me and pain aren't friends.
Tell them how I used my pain
As fuel for my creativity!
Tell them how I had a crackhead
For a dad And a motivator for a mom.
Tell them how my family struggled from
Paycheck to paycheck, and we'll look
At me, I'm a goddess! I had to make do
With what I had and not what I wished for.
Tell them that being in constant pain
Was like Stubbing my toe over and over again.
But still, pain is still pain.
You can't run from it forever.
Well, at least I gave it a good run. But whos to
Say you can't turn a sad story into a comedy.
