Why I Love the Blues


Why I love the Blues
I think of all the bad things that have happened to me, and all the things I’ve seen in my life.  It’s sad, because I’m still young, are at least I was when I first wrote this (17).  There are three forms of abuse.  I have experienced every one of them.  I’ve been beaten, nearly raped, and tormented by words so terrible it should be a crime to utter them.  All by family, the ones you’re supposed to trust the most.  I don’t care anymore.  I don’t make excuses.  I wake everyday with one goal:  to live this day to make the next one better.  I refuse to be stopped by limitations such as fear, doubt, and hesitation.  I know I will endure, overcome, and ignore, pain, challenge, and distraction respectfully.  I am grateful for where I am today, but I don’t see it as enough.  My quest to obtain success began the moment I was given the hand I was dealt.  My conquest has evolved into motivation and constant improvement.  I will never say die, never.  And that’s a lot like why I love the Blues.
