He was just 18 thought he knew it all decided to leave home and try to stand tall
He had dreams he wanted to become reality but fell victim to what we call the community
he didn’t realise the real world was cold and the problems faced wasn’t for told
ended up in a hostel until he signed his tenancy
then due to peer pressure an depression ended up in HMP
he realised he did wrong and wanted to turn around
so he gave up on previous friends that he used to think were sound
started to look within to find the strength and discipline
to continue the tradition that his family had passed down to him
he started to use his initiative learnt from the past
he adapted to his own opinion at last
reflective because now he was been assertive
rather than passive or aggressive
getting back on track was harder than he thought
he had family but there was a means to there support
probation shrugged him off from the time of his rebirth
making him unsure again of his worth
then he was introduced to the link they helped him and reassured him he wouldn’t sink
they helped him in every way that they could they saw the stereotype but didn’t judge like most normally would
soon after he moved into Edmonds court
he was seen as an individual he was seen as an equal
he started to progress put his mind to the test and get involved in things he thought were of interest
he committed to a course called life skills and learnt how to prioritise and how to pay his bills
he was able to adjust find his creativity he was able to do what he wasn’t initially
soon after went on to the European youth exchange where European countries come together to put on a play about the lives lived in a typical day
after that he knew he was on the right track he decided he wanted to give something back
he decided he wanted to be more involved and mutual people wanted him to evolve
he attended a interview with the youth advisory board
expressing his views his views were no longer ignored the person I am telling u about isn’t flawless
but remains to do his best his name is Conscious
