Motivational Past



This is a story of a teen
 who had no idea what he was planning just roaming free,
 living the way he supposed to be,
 but he got caught up in a struggle between mentality and life.
Not to mention certain people never tried to treat him right.
Down the road he would know the pain of a tragedy overload, even though,
 he was smarter than most he ended up in a home.
He was the second generation the same hardships he'd be facing.
Relating directly to his mom and dad who met each other in a place that was tasteless of any dignity,
robbed you of your sanity
to be there as a teen would not be a dream,
it would've been hell in a rubber cell that's smell like mental patients and sodomy in the making.
I can only imagine the fear that he was facing. Since i been through hell my self but i ain't never been through that.
So imagine what he did when he learned that people die in this place,
and when you see it from the outside it will give you the shakes,
manhood was took then he was homeless at 16,
 he could of led a life a crime but it helped to toughen up his mind. He started from the streets, saved his money without a team, turned his pain into a dream.
Alcoholic lost his son, but the woman was the one who accused him of wrong same old song. Inconvenient was her choice so she lied to her boys.
Said this man is dangerous and treats your brother like a toy.
So the man was driven mad out of his mind, all the lies that have been spoken from her and her family alike.
So this time the man focused on being one of a kind,
a high school drop out with a shitty past was about to be on the grind,
studying , no more crying. In the back of his brain he stored al of the bad vibes,
no more would the world ever rip out his spine. So by the time he was 55 all the respect he deserved, he would find.
There's no way he could forget it, sacrifices he dealt with.
He was hurt in that home than left all alone.
Now the stories recapping don't you see what happened.
He never forgot the pain  instead he moved up fast, refused to be last, wasn't about to make excuses when his role was past, he didn't see a damaged child he saw a motivational past ...
Motivational past  it was painful and it was sad but it was the best life coach that a man could ever have, not sleeping in a shelter and now has plenty to eat, motivational past  motivational trash that he turned into motivational cash, living life on his own terms but he's earned it not a second will be wasted from the misery of that horrid place to living life with taste, he didn't want to die a bum and so he changed his fate. . . At last… Motivational past.
