At age eighteen

i had no goals

 

 

no purpose in life

 

 

no friends

no social life

 

 

no phone

no radio

no TV

 

 

no regular meals

no income

sobbing

with my therapist,

 

 

"I don't know

how I made it"

 

I say,

​

 

"You made it

because you have

an un-crushable spirit"
