I Am

I am tired of all the shame and the guilt that comes with it
I am desiring a better lifestyle and a better coping skill in my life I must admit 
I am in pain...
I am going insane...
I am in this lane...
Love got me crazy in the brain
I am super fed up with all the lies in society
I am willing to break free from this captivity 
I am lucky that I am not ignorant like some
I am unlucky because I am feeling numb
But, I am...God's child
He said to let go and let live
He said for me to also forgive
I am accepting of it all
He caught me during my fall
I am growing accustomed to the sorrow
Succumbing to the thought of no tomorrow
I am...God's chosen one though
Let the weeds of life grow and grow 
I will cut them down
With an upside down frown
