Fight For My Write Music

A little girl scribbling with a head full of dreams is how it all started but I couldn’t sing My writing would save me over and over again releasing my madness my heart held the pen Only 4 1/2, my nightmare began when Daddy left Mommy and messed up God’s plan I was meant to do more but my worth got stripped down like my 3 older siblings All 4 knocked to the ground My Dad was my hero but my Step Mom took his voice Narcissistic laryngitis I wasn’t given a choice She cut out my Brother and he went off the rails Spiralled into addiction until his coffin got nailed My survivor’s guilt shook me right to the core I was the little sister but I should’ve done more I still hadn’t recovered 3 years had passed by then I got the call to come say goodbye My Dad laid there lifeless and my world fell apart He was already gone and it shattered my heart I was just with him 18 hours before He told me he loved me when I walked out the door I was in shock but for him tried my best to be there for her but it was only a test She wanted me gone and my sisters too She took everything from me and she knows that it’s true 46 years of pure living hell I barely survived it’s my story to tell Spent a year on the ground alone in the dark til the animals came and relit my spark I started a Tik Tok called Grow Up to Be Kind and when it took off I made up my mind I’ve got a new plan here it is, mark my words mental health is priority and here’s how it works I’ll start from the beginning I’ll target the young Teach them kindness is strength not bullets in a gun It needs to start in our schools a mandatory class Teach self love and worth we must learn from our past Manifestos from killers should never exist We failed those children their cries were just missed We need to take notice of the ones still unsure and offer them guidance as they grow & mature More time spent in nature with all living beings Encourage compassion and all that it brings The animals taught me what I was lacking at home Unconditional love when I felt all alone Grow up to be kind Is my brand and dot com I’ve started my website and I’m still writing songs My mission is clear and I truly believe Mental health in our curriculum will only achieve More children’s laughter more elders matter Less guns a blaring more people caring a bright tomorrow with no more sorrow where love is plenty and dreams come true I’m just one voice but yours makes two 🖤 #mystory #growuptobekind #2026 #healingjourney #songwriter #mentalhealthmatters #narcissisticabusesurvivor #spreadlovenothate

Five years ago, I wrote this song about my big brother and myself. Two siblings carrying the invisible wounds of unhealed childhood trauma. Those wounds eventually led him to the streets, where he tragically lost his life. What I’m forced to live with is knowing that his life wasn’t worthy of a proper investigation. Once his medical records revealed that he'd previously been hospitalized for withdrawal seizures, the circumstances surrounding his death, no longer mattered. You’ll see the news article at the end of the video. When I see people respond to addiction and homelessness by saying, "They chose that life," I wish they could have known my brother. I can assure you, he didn't choose the pain that led him there. He was broken. So was I. For whatever reason, I survived and he didn't. And I carry that with me every single day and I'm still fighting for both of us to be seen and heard. Fighting for my brother, for the little girl I once was, and for every person whose pain has been misunderstood, dismissed or judged. Because behind every addiction, every struggle and every person sleeping on the streets, there is a story we may never know. There is pain behind those four walls that none of us can see inside. So please be kind. ❤️🙏🏻❤️ #Addiction #Homelessness #homeless #MentalHealth #UnhealedTrauma #ChildhoodTrauma

On August 25, 2019 my big brother who was a homeless addict was found beaten & deceased and deemed unworthy of an investigation. I’m his little sister, and I’ve been writing songs for over 30 years and was even fortunate enough to work with Jim Peterik (he wrote Eye of the Tiger, The Search is Over, etc) and produced a couple of my songs in his Chicago studio with his niece on vocals. Sadly, my big break never came and I couldn’t rescue myself or my brother from the childhood trauma that put him on those streets. I’m still fighting for us bro! 🥹This song really needs to be heard!!! 🙏🏻❤️ #homeless #addiction #homelessness #addict #skidrow #eminem

September is Suicide Prevention Month. 💜 Suicide prevention needs to start before the crisis, especially with our children. My latest Grow Up To Be Kind blog talks about bullying, @988Lifeline mental health education in schools and how animals can help give struggling kids connection, purpose and unconditional love. growuptobekind.com/f/suicide… #SuicidePreventionMonth #GrowUpToBeKind #ChildrensMentalHealth #988lifeline
