She said I wouldn't go anywhere

Because my anger would burn everything i touched

That my ADHD would ruin my future

Before i even had the chance to start it

She spoke every little of me

Like she knew where my story would take me

Saying my dream are too big

For someone like me

But she didn't know 

How stubborn i can be

With my sparks come a fire

When you tell it die

How every word she threw a me

Become another step on my ladder

I said i would climb

I rose

Slow at the start

Then it came with force

I didn't see it coming

Top 25% of my class

All A’s

A freshman in college 

With a future i am building

From pieces they said

wouldn't fit together 

And when i was rising 

Something happened 

Something softer

Something i never thought would come

Or that i’d be trusted to hold

Love found me

Real and steady love

A girlfriend who see me as me

And not a person who's been warned about

But as a person I have fought to become

My future fiancee 

Who believes in every version of me

Now i look back 

at the words they said

Trying to skink my world

Now i smile

Because the dream they though

Was too big

Is the life im living

And im still climbing

Higher than their imagination 

Ever saw
