“A Life Not My Own”, began as a diary. It is the story of my troubled childhood
through my young adult years. Like many, my life has taken many turns.
Some sad and some joyous.

She was abusive ‘Girrrrl, I will beat your ass into bad health!” “Mack, go ahead hit her, and Tina you bet not

She was a drug addict… “I may be using drugs, but my children are
clean, well-mannered and go to school everyday”
She was alone “Tina, I got to go now”, he said sadly.

“SSHHH, be quiet boy! You want to eat, don’t you? Tina said as she and her brother rummaged through the alley trashcans.
“It’s 6:30 in the morning! Does your mother know where you are? The teacher asked Tina and her brother as they hungrily waited for school breakfast to begin.
