Life

Me

By Vesha DrisdalePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

It’s 2022 y’all

But I’m 10 years past

33 the year I live in

22+33 is 55

1955 my grandparents got married

3955 Happy Canyon Dr is where I lived the most of my life

Highland Hills Tx rep my hood till the day I die

2005 I Birth 2 lives

By 2014 I became the Gang of 5

As I write tryna think back…

Mentally drained…Going Insane,

I use to blame my daddy for all my heartache and pain…

So I ask myself?

Why?Think past tense, cause in my mind, and going forward into my future my past don’t even exist!

Yea! I will never forget all the struggles and life lessons… all the pain and depression.

Sleepless nights wondering how my kids gone eat.

Now my sleepless nights studying, getting my RealEstate License, Spreading Knowledge in these streets!

They say you struggling sleeping on the floor….

I laugh cause I’m not struggling no more, and I still sleep on the floor!

See with this pen and pad, I write not living in the past…

Because in my memories…

I had so much FAITH & PATIENCE in the past!
