While I Was In Cps Custody. Poem by krystal vincent

I've had many struggles.
I've had many ups and downs.
Families giving up on me.
Never living up to peoples expectations.
Feeling of never being good enough.
Afraid of speaking up and letting people know I can't do it all alone.
Afraid of getting close to people and everyone I love.
Afraid of being hit again.
Afraid of being myself.
Don't know if I will be accepted or turned down.
So I didn't know what else to do but cut and feel the pain I felt.
I almost died last year because of the hurt an pain.
Now I know precious life is and how I can go on.
I can live my life to the fullest and be strong.
