Brown and white trailer

I grew up 

In a trailer park

I quit telling 

People

Because 

They 

Judged me.

I found 

A picture 

Of me

 When I

Graduated 

High school.

 I am standing 

In our parking

Spot.

In front 

Of our white 

And brown

Trailer.

I am wearing 

A white 

Dress 

White 

Heels

And I 

Am happy.

I was happy 

Because I

Was 

Loved

I was

Poor

And I 

Loved 

Human

Struggle.

I understood

It and

Respected 

It.

I was taught 

Not to 

Be afraid

Of not

Having.

Struggle 

Was life.

I had

Not an 

Easy life.

I grew up 

With some

Ugliness 

Some 

Family secrets.

But as I 

Look at 

This photo

And look at 

My reflection 

20 plus years

Later...

I realize and 

Am thankful

For that

Trailer.

The past

The violence

The secrets

The love

And the 

Struggle 

Have made me

 Compassionate 

Lovely, honest

And thankful.

I grew up on 

Dove drive

In a trailer 

Park.

And I 

Found 

Out..

I am 

The struggle

And 

I 

Won.
