since I was around seven years old I was passed around like a coin.
going from my mom to my aunt, grandma to a foster home, mom to my dad. Home to home, family to family. I was given potential, with the right amount of light i would shine like any other coin, but given my circumstances I progressively became rusted, grades dropped immensely and barely passed grade six. I didn’t shine as much, really distinct from others. But suddenly things changed and I. started to shine little bits at a time.
Although I’m rusted I can clean up the rust and shine again.
