Be proud of who you are

Nseketelo 2006 (Acornhoek)



You are born for a purpose

You might see yourself suffering
You might think you are forsaken
You see poverty coming
Thinking life is unfair  
But you are born for a purpose

You are not in that in family by mistake
You are not born by mistake
Yes,you might think so
But life is unpredictable

It might be hard for you now
But your future won't be the same
Don't blame anyone
Don't let depression control you

I repeat you are born for a purpose!
