Help

Street fights without number
growing up within the projects
life lived as an runaway
 A life full of disgust
with nobody to trust
throughout all the hurt
I'm not immune to pain
 So many tears cried
friends lost to the streets
the preacher cursed me to hell
 Where do my prayers go
when refused to enter church
by those who run it
 When seeking help
holy people cast dirt upon my name
others refuse my pleas
choices are limited
when without favor

God loves you...God doesn't love sin but he loves the sinner..He accepts you just as you are and all you have to do is accept and start to trust him...That is in case that this is not just a write about a topic..Sara
