If I Can So Can You

in the corners of my room i place all my chapters of life each one consists of a new beginning and an end living in the streets covering up with newspaper eating out the garbage wearing someone elses shoes all were apart of my life i never thought id be that girl who begged for a quarter or the girl who snuck onto a strangers porch to sleep conflicted and confused constantly in a daze my life was like running through a maze except worse people were my targets as i tried to scam them all hey when your living from moment to moment you run fast until you fall then call for help but not the police they are the ones who kicked me off the streets i seen alot of people die and witnessed many crimes a thirteen year old girl sentneced to doing time never dropped a dime or snitched on anyone this was my life nothing about it was fun throughout the years i grew up learning how to get by made money hustling this and that spent nights getting high was violated by men three times for sure emotional scares for thats there is no cure lived the fast life with ballers and king pins committing moral and cardinal sins my time was running out the feds were on my trail no way was i gonna cut a devils deal i had two choices so i picked number one i begged GOD for forgiveness from HIS only son the journey was tough so say the least but in the end i enjoyed a great feast A NEW LIFE!!!! now im out and life is good can take me far away but never from the hood i closed those chapters in my life straightened myself out and stopped living trife.. IF GOD GAVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE HE WILL HELP YOU BUT YOU NEED TO HELP YOURELF!!!! GOD IS GREAT HE GAVE ME A REASON TO CHANGE LIFE
