Finding My Way-
Feb 4 2016
Once I found a purpose
but not one of my own
i thought by now I'd see a glimpse
but still stuck in the unknown
i used to have vivid dreams
of how i pictured my life
successful medic, mother
and possibly a wife
but at the age of 20
i made a huge mistake
i let the devil into my heart
then he controlled my fate
my soul became his hideout
the light faded from my eyes
and people thought it was still me
but I was his disguise
I started to betray my friends
and then my family
I lost my job
and any trust that people had in me
I poisoned my own body
for him to get his fix
and while I fought the withdrawal from dope
he took my mind over next
he made me believe that i was dead
although my blood was flowing
i began to hate the world
i changed without even knowing
but now my life is mine again
i found the will to fight
and i found God who held me close
and the devils out of sight.
