Poem
Hey you out there Life hasn't been fair I see you, This is something true On that street corner you stand Need a hand This corner is important at this point of time in your life. So much strife Do you keep going forward Ever towards The same place Discouragement written on your face , continuing your life as you have been Not happy since you don't know when Doing just what it takes to get by. Why Do you even feel like going on? Is hope gone Feel like sitting on that curb and say I can't go on no more Can't get up from the floor can't face this life Face this strife Sitting on that same old curb side Kinda hurts the pride you are afraid to go forward Towards So you do nothing and go no where Do you even care But you are not safe at all Your call You soon lose yourself in nothingness Using drugs thinking this is bliss Afraid to try? Rather die Wanna cry that means you have quit. Life has won. Your done Now why you sit there Thinking how unfair, a moment to think,, on which way should you go? Don't know There is the easy way. As you do this day pushing forward grabbing what you can Being the man Parties, women, drugs. You just shrug Most times your in jail Can't afford bail more than living free Getting old you may never see A chance to die young some think that life is great. Lost in hate alone most of the time Crime going nowhere. Still dont care You might as well stayed on your curbside Trying to hide you travel far, see a few things. Short term happiness that brings But you always end up back on that curbside Done lost your pride Same corner in life where you started . Never parted which way do you go This is all you know There drops a tear How did you end up back here. You can continue down the same path as before Still on the floor Forward side ways, It never pays you always end up back on your corner curb side Locked inside Either way your back where you started. Dearly departed I have been here a few times before There is a new door Now look at this other way A new day It may not be that easy on you So true but try this new path way Just have to pray But with Jesus ss your guide. Him on your side While on this road While carrying your load weakness of your will Give you your fill you need is to borrow his strength. when life gets you down Feel your gonna drown, the Lord God will help you I speak thoughts get unsettled, doubt enters the mind Leave them behind He will ease the muddy waters of your thought Lessons tought when you get wishing for things you want, Their vision does haunt he teaches you to be thankful for what you got Desire starts to rot when you get mad Sad Even glad think on God, think Let this sink calm you and gives you peace of mind Won't leave you behind When you feel all alone. No love shown know that God is at your side No reason to hide .He understands your pain Cleans your stain So as you are standing there on this cornerside This pain you hide trying to make up your mind. What do you find Do you sit there Never to care Or do you dare on your corner you make a never ending loop Or regroup do you join with him, let him be your guide. Him on your side I found, from my own corner of time This rhyme .God is the only way These words I say Just have to pray Let him heal your wounds and guide you down a path of of truth. Doesn't take a sleuth The truth to see Love lifted me .
