My Roots

Without my roots I wouldn’t know what to do. I have a few, but that few make me 
smile. I love them to death, and I know they love me to. My roots are there through 
thick and thin.
When I need to cry, smile, scream, and shout they’re there to listen to my 
problems. I thank god for bringing them in my life. Shavon, Markeen, Antera, and 
Airrick I thank yall so much.
Shavon my crazy sister without you I wouldn’t smile. You keep a smile on my 
face. I know we go through the same stuff. From boys to family problems. Without 
you my sky’s would always be gray.
Markeen my ex, my best buddy, we been friends for 2 years now and I hope you’ll 
never leave my life. We had our ups and downs, but you’ve been by me. I love you 
baby.
Antera my cuz, my heart, my sister-in-law, without you I wouldn’t have 
experiences a lot in life. Without you I wouldn’t get to see my man. And whenever 
I need something your always there.
Airrick my best buddy, my baby, you’re my everything. You shared something with 
me that nobody else can understand. You know every little detail about Aryana 
and I love you so much.
To my dear roots, I hope yall are always by my side keeping a smile on my face. 
Keeping a smile on my face. Keeps me happy, not wondering about bad things 
that are going on with me. I love yall!!!!!!!!!!
