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
