Lisa Michelle Anderson Biography

My mom was only 16 and my dad as 18 when I was born. They tried to do the whole American dream together (got married before I was born and my dad worked and began the happy little family) however by the time I was 2 years old they divorced. My mom was young and she did her best. I was reading and writing at 4 years old and because of her teaching me these 2 things I believe is at least partly why excelled in school. My mom was awarded custody of me when they divorced and he was told to pay $100 per month for child support and he could have visits on weekends, holidays and summer breaks. I rarely went with my dad for visits and actually I was 11 yrs old when I actually went with my dad to his house and spent any length of time with him. However, my entire childhood I spent every weekend, every holiday and every summer break with my dad's mom (my grandma) and/or his sister Teresa (my aunt) which was so absolutely amazing and I miss them both more than I could ever express. The only thing he did do was that he paid that measly $100 a month for 18 years and thats it. My mom went on with her life and remarried and had my sister Sherry and my brother James.)

The Best Poem Of Lisa Michelle Anderson

Who We Are...

Who we are...

We are those society has alienated because of our mistakes...

We are those who are misguided by warped beliefs, traditions and prejudices...

We are those society wishes to forget of those who refuse to forgive...

Who we are...

We are those society reaches out to, but, only to place us in handcuffs rather than help us...

We are those who have unjustly offended many, disrupting innocent lives with evil...

We are those society does not wish to understand so as a 'minority' we are viewed as 'inhuman'...

Who we are...

We are those society will not trust because of stereotypic minds that are suffocated with content...

We are those who are unafraid of any prison or darkness because we come from broken homes, broken relationships, poor neighborhoods and worse...

We are those society strives to strip of dignity and hope in the name of impartial justice...

Who we are...

We are those society placed in warehouse cages filled with poison that breeds rapidly like a wildfire in the wilderness...

We are those society has so resentfully labeled as X-Citizens, X-Cons, X-Salvageable and even X-Human Beings...

We are those society has made a conscious choice to exclude from being worthy of compassion and love...

Who we are...

We are those who can no longer escape the fact that we must become responsible, to live decent and to take full accountability for our past offenses against God, Our Families, You, Our Community and Society as a whole...

We are those society calls Alcoholics, Drug Addicts, Bums, An Embarrassment, Criminals, Gang Bangers and More...

Yet, we are just like everyone else in society...

We are Fathers and Mothers, Sons and Daughters, Brothers and Sisters and Enemy or Friend...

No Less - No Greater than ANYONE ELSE in Society...

Who we are...

SIMPLY We Are ALL CHILDREN OF GOD!
