CHOICE
I often wander what God must think, that of our world so corrupt and on the brink. I'm ashamed of our government or lack there of, where once there was compassion, there's no more brotherly love.
How the state can take your child and tell you he's no longer yours, what gives them the right to let this occur? Its beyond incomprehensible how two people commit murder, one is black, one is white, one gets 15 years, the other wont ever see daylight. How can we still be so ignorant and vain? Most people who are on the streets are just trying to maintain. It's hard to have hope when your constantly being judged and put down, before you know it your the talk of the town. Some people like drama, at any cost. They don't think twice about what you lost. To blatantly lie and deceive, a person of authority why wouldn't they believe?! All of the pain and heartache that we feel-how do we get over it? How do we heal?
I understand that there is always someone worse off then you, you can only change yourself, it's your decision to pull through. The demons inside don't have to win. If you dig deep enough you can find it within. The strength and the courage to get up everyday, to move past all the wrong and dismay.
Choose to be humble, choose to overcome. Remember always where you came from.
