When you get these milestones or when you get to this place of like, oh, I get why I am who I am,

it's because you've had to overcome some obstacles. You've had to face the trying times.

And so that's how you know the core of what you're made of.

You know, if I, if I couldn't get up off of that ground after those white boys ram you over with a truck.

And I say that literally like I was murdered and came back. Oh, you didn't know this story, baby.

And when I came back into my body, I heard the police officer, one woman ran five miles just before cell phones.

This was back in the 90s, ran, called the police in the end.

The one policeman came and I heard him say to the boys who were still in the truck, why do you?

Because they said that they were afraid for their lives to come out.

The boys said that the police officer said to the boys one less and word in the world is fine with me.

Stop it.

Told them to drive away. They drove away. He drove away and left me.

I remember the psychiatrists, the whole psychiatry crew came through and they were like,

do you have anger? Are you angry at these men? And I said, you know what?

I really do forgive them as they know not what they do.

I hear me when I say I went on a true forgiveness path because I knew I couldn't burden my own self with being angry at them.

I had to get out of that hospital. I had one goal.

I was one job on this ship and that was me getting out of there with both legs and tacked honey.

I was not going to wear a shoe. I am too thin and I am not going to have no legs.

My mom is going out the way I came in. I am going to have scars but I can handle that.

I got out, I got out, I got out, I got out, I got out, I got out, I got out, I got out, I got out.
