I was born a rose but I grew up out of concrete to find my way in the world.. Dad was never really around, and mum worked her socks off to raise me.. Childhood was tragicomedy literally; sweet sometimes, but hard as a rock sometimes..Yeah, I was a council estate kid! I vowed at age 7 never to shed a tear for the rest of my life, and take on every situation I face like a man.. Age 10, I was already a man, making my own money and saving, in secondary school..

At age 13, the yardies on my block were my role models, and the notorious Myatts Field Estate, Brixton was where I called home.. Age 14, I was a gang member shotting weed, crack, PCP etc. on those roads. I had whatever drug you can get from a road pharmacist, and the fiends never stopped ringing my phone.. I had my own share of road wars, got shanked a couple of times, and shot at a couple of times.

But my life changed when I met this chic. Pretty thing with a big batty.. She showed me the love I never believed existed, and she loved me so much that I was scared she was trying to set me up, and hand me over to the jakes.. Then I discovered I was also in love with this girl, but I just couldn't act right because my past life shaped up my mentality the wrong way.. I've anger problems, and trust was something that was foreign to me due to my past life.. I'm from the school of hardknocks, and the road code of ethics governs the way I live, and how I do things.. Thanks to this chic and her persistence, and help; I got an education, but it never changed my mentality..

About 7months ago, she left me, and my life has never been the same..My life ended the day she left me, and I've never been the same since then.. I still cry sometimes because of this girl (Something I vowed never to do again)..

It must be love, and love is indeed powerful!

True life story.

I was just narrating a true life story of how love can make people cry. The power of love.

Brixtonyute:

I just don't trust her.. Trust isn't my thing.

You are the problem here, ''trustless human''

So what's the point of going through all of that and not making a change? No offense but doesn't that make you foolish?

Goldieluks:

You won't survive walking a day in my shoes.

ijebabe: So what's the point of going through all of that and not making a change? No offense but doesn't that make you foolish?

Made a change, but I'm still scared of my 'shadow' literally. It's not a swift thing, it has to be a gradual process.

As long as you're aware of the problem and there's a lesson learnt you're on the right path. Just don't make a mess of the next one, crying may not be your only concern

To everyone:

Have you ever heard about the fear of the unknown? The fear that keeps you in a state of being scared of everything and everyone. Life isn't rosy for everyone, some were born 'great' and others achieve 'greatness'. If you had to live through the murky waters, I have to pass through growing up, then you would understand my story..

I'm the rose that grew out of concrete!

U mean with all the luv and care she showered u, u dint thrust her? U need to forgo the past. it's difficult to find one who is trustworthy, but u need to trust someone.
