My Life

My life started as a hard journey upon this earth 
Didn't know why I was here or given to birth
Only knew that I was different from other kids
Didn't want to play all the time only wanted to read
Had dreams too young to interpret the meaning
Visions invaded my daydreams daily
My life started as a hard journey upon this earth
One young mom one absent father brewing disaster for me
Abused from birth misused from trusting abandoned for death
Only God understanding my mind a wreck
Tears free falling thoughts free racing dreams long deserted me
Too out of focus to see my reality
Reading the bible came to understand my purpose in the walk
Visions became clear my life work just beginning
My life started as a hard journey upon this earth
People aware of my inner gift use it wisely I was told
No longer able to shudder  the chills and cold
The world is ending the bible foretold
God had a purpose for us all

Very powerful and moving. I have gone through similar experiences in my life. Sometimes I wonder about my life. Keep on writing.
