Bread Crumbs

While the world is constantly turning on its axle
   Her life was spiraling out of control.
   First, she lost herself and broke down her self-esteem.
   Give in to her cravings.
   Lost her job and her faith,
   Made so many mistakes.
   She derailed, took a different path,
   Forgot about the footprints of her grandma.

   She got hooked on drugs, 
   Because she slept with a thug.
   She chooses the dark side, 
   Love was blind.
    Let the crows corrupt her soul, and take over her life.
   She gave away her power.
   When it was nearly too late,
   She realized it was time to turn around.
  After her house burnt to the ground.
   But she did not know how to find her way back,
   Because the crows ate all the bread crumbs.

   They bound her into drugs and left her powerless.
   It took a traumatic incident,
   To bring her to her senses.
   She and her kids almost lost their lives
    They would die in hell fire.
   Finally, the peels fell from her eyes, she is not blind.
    Grateful to God for giving her a second chance,
    To be free and alive
