Teardrops | Robert Van Orden | TED Goes to Prison at Coxsackie Correctional Facility 2022

I grew up in the military with my father. I’ve lived in seven different states in my 22 years of life. I have 12 siblings. I started writing music after I fell in love at 16 years old and made a mistake and lost her. Nothing has been the same since. I’ve been in and out of jail since I was 17 years old. I want to change my life and show the world that a guy can make a mistake and want to fix it. I want to show that everyone messes up and it’s okay as long as they work to change and be better.
