Mrs . Casale — Librarian

PERSPECTIVE

I was born bad You don ’ t get to tell me I ' ve got good qualities . Because in my mind I ' m sure who I AM at all times . I ' m not gonna lie to myself and say a kindness lives in me . I tell myself I am Nasty : Narrow-Minded . You can ’ t make me believe I can change who I am . I know what I know I am the worst of the worst . I really don ’ t believe love is the only option . Because how I see it you are what you grow up around . I look at myself and think Am I the person I ’ m supposed to be ?
