Dear God

I look into the sky every night, to find some meaning of my life. I know who I am, but what 
is my purpose here, all my life it has been one struggle after another. Never have I wanted 
so much to find God and ask what am I here to do now? Why is my life out of control? Why 
am I here? At 23 years old I need God more than ever I feel like I am losing my mind my 
self control the little control that I have. I pray that God help me, guide me in the right path 
and show me happiness I need him more than ever I look but I still can’t see. Every night I 
look up into the sky to see a sign but nothing, but the big full moon and the lovely bright 
stars. I’m looking, but still I can’t see, maybe what I’m looking for is right in front of me. 
Maybe I need to search under a rock or try to move a mountain than and only than I will find 
what I seek. But why do I feel like I ’m looking for answers that no one can give. I have so 
many questions but yet I do not know where to start, what will happen tomorrow for me, for 
us? Why do so many suffer? Why am I suffering? The biggest question of all why don’t God 
answer me? It is not like I’m asking for silver and gold, or something hard like world peace. I 
just want happiness for all especially my son. Well that is all for today just thinking out loud 
again.

This Broken Heart

Pain from this broken heart feels more like broken bones,

I could never see myself with another, because my heart has yet 

to restore it’s beat, my heart beat once in pain, and twice for hate.

What can one do to feel whole again?

When my heat has been broken once two many, and hate and pain is all I know.

 The love I had for one almost killed me, and the love for another save me. 

And knowing if this love from this other leave, I will no longer have a reason to live.

SO I wait for my heart to find a hip hop beat,

instead it plays the blues and still this broken heart slowly

but surely, and maybe one day it will regain it’s 

hip hop beat.
