When I turned 6!
I lost a family member.
When I was 7!
I lost a close friend.

At age 10.
I begun to lose hope!
A age 12.
I broke more then just a bone!

Age 13!
I hurt myself on purpose.
Age 16!
I gave up all completely.

When I turned 17.
I lost my heart.
And my family followed suit.
Again this is what it's like when I turn!...

Yeah... I'm a child abuse and domestic violence survivor. And I lost a very close friend from a drive by shooting.
