Life

Life is a broken story, we try to live piece by piece, 
we born from our parents but they might not be right 
mentally, then we grow and we may be scarred from 
someone, then we become an adult it only gets harder
because we aren't fully healed properly from 
the person that caused them pain. You look for outlets
to forget what hurts you like Drugs, Alcohol, and other
people, and or the club, but all of those are an 
illusion. Be careful what you pray for because it works
and it's scary, you may get someone who is great for a 
moment but ends up being toxic it for you and 
causing you much trouble and pain. But then life gets 
more of a challenge when you decide to have  children 
it ends only in being broke most of the time, and often
lonely or the man bails because it's too hard. The child
starts to get curious and touch things more. Like if 
your child is 2 and he or she starts to act up in 
school, it’s nobody fault but the parents who 
created them, it makes them wonder am I a 
good parent. You do your best to teach them and 
watch them grow and hope they be better and 
great men and women and have kids of their own.
The scary shit out here is DCF, the father of your 
children going to jail, Fornication, Being Gay, There 
are many different religions out there that say it’s okay
to stay in your sin which is breaking the law.
