Hard for me | Shannon R | TEDxPerryvilleCorrectional 2018

From Shannon: "The song I performed is titled ‘Hard for Me.’ I always wanted to show this piece of music that I wrote to the world because it describes what I went through as a child, and how I felt. It also explains my history, detailing how I made it to the Department of Corrections. Although my history is common, I wanted people to relate in the sense of the individual. This was ME in that situation at one point in my life. Here I am now, for the past no longer exists. Though, I’ve done something with it. I have created a song out of it by using my talent. Even though I made it to this correctional facility today, I am strong and I can make changes to do something different. I can lead a different life to feel better about myself."
