Crossroads

There are battles I doubt I can fight
Though winning them would give me great delight
Although my dreams and ideas are bright
I still ponder over my plight

Different thoughts emanate in my mind
Lost opportunities I doubt I will ever find
My ignorance of everything has made me blind
I never wished to face hardships of this kind

Memories of my mistakes haunt me
Mountain of problems confront me
Sickness of all sorts attack me
While confusion and doubt overpower me

ooh,but I know that by trusting and putting God to the test
He will locate me,whether I am in the North or in the west
And with him I will continue to pray and hope for the best
Believing that in the end,my heart will have eternal rest.

Contest-sing to me contest
poem is inspired by the monster by Eminem ft rihanna
