Life As An At-Risk Youth
Life's been a rollercoaster I never bought a ticket for, twists and turns throwing me off course, leaving me bewildered in a world that never stops spinning. But in the chaos, I found fragments of myself I never knew existed. strength in my vulnerability, resilience in my tears, and hope in the darkness.
Each hurdle I face, each tear I shed, is a stepping stone towards a brighter horizon I refuse to stop chasing.
Some days, the weight of the world feels unbearable, suffocating me with the labels society slapped on my back. At-risk youth, they call us like we're defined by the statistics stacked against us. But hidden behind the numbers and judgments are stories of warriors rising from the ashes, defying the odds, and painting a future only we can envision.
So, I march on through the storm, carrying my dreams like lanterns guiding me through the night. I stumble, I fall, but I rise with unwavering determination. For in this journey of figuring it out, I've learned that the fiercest flames are forged from the darkest struggles.
