So PLEASE Can You Help A Sister Out.. Because I’m Running Out Time..

just tyra the best.

just tyra the best.

Holding the world above my head Overwhelmed with indecision
I write to you this letter from me Despite this huge collision

My life has been thrown from one wall to the next Unsure of where to land
I’m still to reach my happy beginning Without the helping hand

I’m in search to find the blimp of a life To escape the rut of my past
Yet the past is my everything, holding me back, distracting my every ambition

Once I have realized what I’m to do, It feels to late for me to pursue
Broke with no money and my dignity spared to I scream for help once again

The one chance I had I blew with flying colors Due to depression spun with my anxiety
Seventy thousand dollars handed to a now legal adult in replace of my mommy

Distracted by my boyfriend with a new amphetamines addiction Leaving me to stand as he pleased
No one to run to I drop each tear into my bucket of dead dreams

Every holiday alone for the first time on my own I grew to hate my life
Yet I’ve always known this isn’t me Yet to see the light

Dropped out of school four credits to go Resenting the cap and gown
I refused to close this chapter of life Which I started next to my mom

Selfish of me, yes I know, But now I’m paying the price
Never did drugs and not a drinker Yet still portrayed the life

I destroyed my dreams, while trying to help others, and only hurt myself
Not medicated by choice and living check to check I learn to play the game

Head on tight and ready to fight Without the move to make
I sleep each night knowing myself and knowing what all I could offer

Hoping one day I get the opportunity to be who I know to be
Intellectual, successful, ambitious, and beautiful I hope this is who you see

I had lost my meaning and now it is found Yet still in search for the place for me

TYRA- THIS POEM IS WRITTEN BY ME AND IT EXPLAINS MORE ABOUT MYSELF THAN I COULD EVER TYPE IN A LETTER. I can relate to this article and topic you have wrote in so many ways. During this whole fiasco Due to my depression and anxiety I lost a good 15 to 20 pounds leaving me at 103, I'm 5 foot 6 inches!!! I couldn't look at myself in the mirror at all, i was so ashamed. I am proud to say I weigh 121 now and am in great shape, thanks to so much will power and self motivation to defeat my problem.

I AM A PART TIME MODEL FOR TONIE'S INTERNATIONAL MODELS IN THE S.T.L, I ALSO WORK AT MARQUART'S LANDING IN WASHINGTON MO. AS A WAITRESS, AND WATCH DAYCARE KIDS AT MY AUNTS DAYCARE THIRTY HOURS A WEEK. I HAVE REALLY BEEN DOING GOOD AND FEEL GREAT ABOUT LIFE, BUT I REALLY NEED SOME DOORS TO OPEN UP FOR ME. IM NOT SCARED OF DEDICATION OR MANUAL LABOR, I JUST NEED STABILITY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT FOR MYSELF. I'M ALSO EXTREMELY INDEPENDENT AND HATE ASKING FOR HELP, BUT I FEEL THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE AS OF NOW. Regardless, I love to see how successful you have become and I will always look up to the woman you are today! Thank you for everything Tyra
Thank you for everything Tyra, Love ya girl

Hey tyra!
I'm your number 1 fan!!
I deffinately love you and I watch the show everyday! I have really bad self esteem.. I s there any safe diets I could use? I'm 14 and I've tried other things they work but aren't healthy... I just really want to feel good about myself... Can you please help me Tyra?!

hey tyra

I am 13 and I love your show. You make me understand that I shoundn't not love my body. But I can't help not listen to the kids in my school they say that I have big thighs and I can't help it I am 5'6. I don't know what to do. When I look in the mirro I see big thighs and my back thighs are also big. I work out but it won't go away. I just don't know if I should let it go or try to lose the weight.

Tyra!
I had seen one of your show, where you where teaching girls to wear swim wear and the Asian chick in there said that Asian chicks do not have BOOTY...
Well, I personally think that only you can speak about your body for yourself, because just because you are asian, black, hispanic or white you should not speak for people in the same ethnic group, because guess what..being asian I hear people talk about Asian chick being skinny, short and they don't have booty or boobies.
Well, guess what,
I have, what most people say a black girl's booty. So whenever anyone say that Asian girls don't have boobies or booty...
guess what we DO!!!
And if we don't "SO WHAT!!!"
A booty is a BOOTY!
;)

Hey there Tyra,
I have a real good one for you. I am 23 years old, I just got out of an abusive relationship.Both mental and physical. I was with him for 6years. He had be beleving i was not worth anything~ he would also burn me with his smokes.Now i am left with these horriable scars all over my body~my arms and legs got it the most because i could hide them under my clothes. I have only told one person about this,I havent even told my mom because my ex boyfriend made me tell everyone they are bug bites(they do resemble alittle). Now when I wear shorts and short sleeve shirts, 80% of the people will either stare at them and i have had MANY people ask what is wrong with my arms and legs.Now I only wear long pants and shirts.The summers are brutal on me~I have passed out because of being too hot.Tyra please help me~ I realize that we can never get rid of them completely but i can find anything to make them less noticeable. I have tryed ALL of the over the counter scar creams but nothing seems to work.I would love to get your suggestions.

Hi Tyra, love the show! but I cant watch it often because of school, sinci I'm only 15. I have a question for you. My hands get really sweaty and I don't know why. they're always like that even when I'm not stressed or worried or anything. What can I do to make it stop. I'm embarassed about it, I can't even hold my boyfriend's hand because I'm scared he'll be grossed out. Please help me!

Love, Jess

Hii Tyraa.

I see myself everyday in a fat body suit.. everyone tells me that im not fat but i know i am. im 15 years old and ever since i was little i was made fun of because i wasnt the skinniest person. When i look in the mirrior at myself i feel ashamed and that why would n e one want to be with me or be my friend for that matter. ive been losing alot of weight though and im proud of that but i still dnt feel good enough.

hello Miss Tyra,im a 16year old girl living in Botswana(a country in the south of Africa),i just finished high school and am waiting to go touniversity.well anyway,i doubt you are even gonna see this but i just wanted to write you and tell you how much i admire you,you relly are my hero,you are real,beautiful and incredibly smart..i watch your show everyday and im also a Huge fan of americas next top model.but anyway more to the point i wrote you to talk about the blatent ignorance of americans(i dont mean to be rude about this) but its really upsetting many americans seem to think africa is a country but its not there are more than 50 different countrys and not all are third world.on one of the shows you performed a "african dance" and for the first time your show upset me,the dance suggests that we all dance like that an we are raw an uncivilized Which e dont you ned to b sensitive when you do such things because you will offend people.hope you read this anyway i love you,bye..

I would probably break down and cry.Im 21 years old and a body full of stretch marks.I got prgnant when i was 17 and i weighed 145 and they died but after that i weighed 210 and my body now is bad.Sometimes i cry, sometimes i dont eat because people tend to stare when you have stretch marks on your arms,shoulders,back,legs stomach and sides.So i have to be careful of the way i sit and the kind of clothes i wear.I have to make sure my sleeves come down far so they wont show.But those woman were brave and i give good props to them because i couldn't of done it
