Not Their

You were not their for me the days I cried and could not see
 when there was struggle and heart ache
 when people talked down on me, spit in my face 
when i thought no one believed 
when i thought i could not achieve 
when family cared no more 
when i got stuck in that dark room with locked doors
 when saling drugs came into my life 
the day I meesed up having a good wife 
you was not their the day my mind body and soul grew sick 
i looked upon you for a quik fix 
then when i knew i had no more
 i got on my knees and prayed and the locks fell from those doors 
you where their the whole time i just did not call on you 
thats why i wrote this message so who ever reads it will believe in you like i do
