For contest 'My Inner Voice Told Me'
I made a mistake was young and stupid I had no guidance as a young adult Found myself pregnant thanks to Cupid felt strangely this woman was in a cult She invited me to bible study When I got there I felt unsure It was in a private home And everyone seemed overly invested They wanted to pray over me They locked arms making a circle It felt weird but I couldn’t leave Because the lady was my ride I was in the center of the circle They wanted to touch my belly My feeling was that this could be bad I started to feel strange My inner voice told me to go But trapped by lack of transportation I decided to go with the flow Trust that God would keep me safe When I got home I called my grandmother Explained the prayer circle and feeling trapped She said that it sounded like a cult Urged me to never go back My inner voice told me Something was wrong But I just couldn’t leave But God kept me all along For the sake of my baby
