Who I Am: 3 (FireNine)

Some stories aren't easy to tell.Some situations aren't easy to relive.But I was raised to be strong-to hold my own. Because of it, I was hurt, torn down, beaten, and even had my heart snatched right out of my chest.But I'm ready now. It's time for me to speak up. You want to know what really goes on inside my head? Well, I'm right here. Real. Raw. Intense.This is all me. Roy Sykes. This is my story, and trust me . . . it's far from pretty.Contains mature themes.
