I Realize I Will Always Be The

I Had To Learn To Forgive. I Couldn't Sleep At Night. I Got Ulcers. I Had To Let Go, To Let God Deal With It. No One Wants To Be Mad In Their Own House. I Didn't Want To Be Angry My Whole Life. It Takes So Much Energy Out Of You To Be Mean.

I Tell Myself Time Heals. It Really Does.

I Know And Value What It Means To Wake Up And Be Alive And To Share My Story. I'm So Blessed To Be Here And To Be Able To Talk About It.

As Far As Having Peace Within Myself, The One Way I Can Do That Is Forgiving The People Who Have Done Wrong To Me. It Causes More Stress To Build Up Anger. Peace Is More Productive.

We Wouldn't Be As Far Along As A Country If We Didn't Take On Some Of Martin Luther King's Ways That He Instilled In Us.
