Misunderstood: The Jason Smith Story

Misunderstood: The Jason Smith Story - Born to Be Broken
Jason Smith ain't ask for this life. He ain't ask to be born into a world that forgot how to love. He was just a kid with cracked sneakers and a cracked heart, tryna find peace in a place where peace don't exist. The system gave up on him before he even knew how to spell his name right. School pushed him out, the block pulled him in. Nights was cold. Stomachs was empty. And the only thing that showed up every day was pain. Jason ain't have no mom tucking him in. No dad watching over him. Just streets that chewed him up and whispered lies in his ear. They told him he wasn't enough. And after a while... he started to believe it. Then came Wayne - all smooth talk, gold chains, and secrets behind his smile. He showed Jason how to move smart, how to stack money and duck the snakes. For a minute, it felt like family. Like maybe, just maybe, he could finally breathe. But nothing stays good for long out here. The higher Jason climbed, the more the ground shook beneath him. People switched up. Old friends turned cold. And the ones that said they'd ride forever? Gone without a word. He was outnumbered. Outloved. And out here with his heart wide open in a world that only knows how to take. This ain't a story about winning. It's a story about surviving long enough to feel like maybe... you matter. Jason never wanted to be a king. He just wanted to be seen. But in the end, even that was too much to ask. If you ever been broken and blamed for it - if you ever cried so hard you couldn't breathe - if you ever gave love and got left - Jason's story gon' sit in your soul. Because some kids ain't bad. They just been hurt too many times to act good.
