Hope and Faith

I will no longer feel ashamed Didn't realize what I was getting into No longer standing here will I be blamed Now I am the one smarter then you You stole my soul for awhile I now take it back for me No longer will I stay in denile My eyes are open ans can now see No longer will I make my living on the streets for you You liked putting me under with drugs like a spell There are other choices I now know I can do Unlike the first night when my soul fell All I could do was stay numb and cry you said stop crying ***** we made one thousand dollars I knew I had to start planning my goodbye For the first time in my life I wished I had a father I finally found my courage to leave I looked up to the sky and realized my father was there Some how in my heart I still could believe Now with hope and faith my life will go somewhere Feb.10, 2009 Bettie Avery
