I never said thank you
for being there when no one else would
For you and your mother to take me in
and you being an amazing friend
I never said thank you
for my teachers that clothed me and helped me
who guided me to succeed
I graduated because of you
For The Youth Voices crew
Now don't think i forgot about you
The Power of Hope
For being there and supporting and guiding me
for being my inspiration
my uplifted warm hearted
empowering
helping me to succeed in my life
for expressing
believing in me
to recieve
to be real and speak my truth in myself
for my roots to go down deep underground
If it wasn't for you
I don't know where i'd be or what I'd do
All i know is I'm so blessed to be here
with each and every single one of you
to have this opportunity
so for that I Thank You
