Understanding I just can't seem to understand Why its so hard for me to be understood Yes you hear me you got ears But are you listening to what I'm saying Sometimes its like I'm speaking a foreign language Or even in sign language To be heard yet misunderstood To be seen yet blurry vision Felt yet only a ghost a tingling sensation without a reasonable explanation It's how I feel I know its not intentional but I'm intentionally frustrated from the repetition and the trying to rephrase and the trying to recreate from the agony and pain The frustration and illusions driving me insane Not to mention that we are our own worst critic and we let out minds wonder and play tricks on us So sometimes in the mist of my passionate words I lose focus and confuse myself I know my intentions and I know what I mean But how do I translate for you how do I make you see what I see Hear what I hear Breathe what I breathe Understand the simplicity of me Just want to be loved and cared for shown and expressed to feel secure and appreciated but understood never the less Or is that just too much to ask I have come to believe that it is me When the majority of the popularity are all in agree Then I have o know its me I'm the odd ball I'm the difference Just wish someone would try and listen

About the Book
This book was written to help guide our youth today in the right direction. A lot of our youth think that the only success is being an athlete or a star, but being successful comes in many different shapes, forms, and fashions. This book/documentary shows the many ways people are successful, how they got there, and how they stay there. I hope this will influence our youth in a positive and more informed direction. If success was easy, everyone would have it.
About the Author
My name is Brittany D. Phillips, I was born June 27, 1991, in Houston, Texas the youngest of three siblings; one brother and two sisters. I wrote and published my first book entitled “Opinions of Young Mature Minds” while starting in high school at the age of 15 and self-published by 18. I attained my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management, and Master’s in Business Administration at Prairie View A&M University. I am a proud member of the National Service Sorority Organization of Gamma Sigma Sigma and a proud young African American entrepreneur. I am currently looking forward to getting my second Master’s in Education Counseling and helping the youth find better futures. I come from a family with very strong morals and varied military backgrounds, so family is one of the most important things to me and what has molded me into the woman that I am today. Along with my faith in God and my mom, who has always been direct with me, I am now looking forward to being a mother myself and preparing my child to have the best future possible. I believe in defying the odds and that no matter what, YOU can do whatever YOU choose because God has a plan for all of our lives and if we keep the faith we shall achieve them. Some of the things I enjoy are going out with family and friends, a variety of foods, sports, enjoying life and mostly helping others. I love to give back and help others but I also truly believe in helping those who help themselves. It is one thing to help someone but another to show them how to help themselves. I am working on building my business to be as successful as possible so that I am able to continue to give more and better in ways unimaginable. I plan to have my hand in a little bit of everything so that I can give and help as many people as possible; we all know it takes money and power to accomplish most things in this world today and it’s all about who you know that gets things done.
