Changed

I remember the early days of my youth I struggled hard to find the truth I looked for answers high and low I prayed God would hear me here below I rebelled against conformity, and societies curse I rejected authority and life got worse I had a reputation in my home town I never let anyone talk me down I found one day when they finally left me alone I never had visitors, no one would phone I became despondant and tried to end the pain I wanted to put a bullet through my worn out brain I cried out to God for a last straw to grasp I found Jesus that day and held him fast

Nice poem. God bless. Indeed, God is a good shepherd. May God lead those children who've been lost in their paths. :)
