Aaron Clark Poem
Someone once told me that my dreams wouldn’t come true
And for some reason I believed them too
So I just stopped trying
And ended up all alone in the dark crying
There was no ignoring the pain I felt inside
But I didn’t show it because of my pride
But in spite of everything else
I decided to start all over myself
I accomplished so many things it was unbelievable
So now the word on the block is “Aaron made it, that’s impossible”
But that’s where you wrong
I’m standing on my own two feet and I ain’t gonna fall
I’m that helping hand that’ll answer anyone’s call
All of my achievements are adding chapters to my book
So before you fix your mouth to say she’s failed take another look
I’ve grown up to be what I wanted to be
And not some black person they see as charity
So the next time someone says your dreams wont come true
Just think of it as being a point you have to prove

Aaron Clark Poem
There I was standing in awe
The barrel of a gun is all I saw
Thinking I’m about to mutter my last words
Renounce your God or die is all I heard
I’m not ready to die
But God I just cant deny
No matter how hard I try
So I told him no that’s ridiculous
But my friends told him don’t listen to her she’s delirious
I was in my right mind
I mean I had to be in the midst of this crime
I’m thinking about Columbine but it was only me
Every time I close my eyes all I see
Is the face of the girl who was killed for her belief
Then I see her family sitting there with grief
I don’t want my family to be sad or mad
I see it as a blessing I had in this aspect of my life
Because all I ever talk about is the pain and the strife
But this gunman seemed different
Because for a minute, killing me wasn’t important
I had a feeling that this guy knew me
I wanted to see his face so I started moving in slowly
When I pulled off his mask I had a sudden peace of mind
Because now I know it was God the whole time
The whole time it was all a test

Aaron Clark Poem
I was in clique
We had everything we wanted and was lovin it
But then one night I got really sick
And death I barely missed
So I said to myself I’ve had enough of this
I decided to quit
But then I thought about who was the leader of my clique
It was the devil and he wasn’t havin it
So he had his people watchin me closely
‘Cause he already knew who I was about to go see
I went to church and the spirits followed me in
The only thing I want is be freed from this life of sin
So they started trippin and grabbin, kickin and stabbin
Fillin my head with voices wantin me to make the wrong choices
But I don’t wanna go back
So I got down on my knees
And started beggin Lord please
Don’t let me go back to where I was
When I was drinkin and lookin for a quick buzz
I felt you when I was on the corner sellin drugs
When I was pimpin and low-ridin with the thugs
But I changed all for you because
There’s now a difference between where I am and where I was
So the word got back to who I thought was the boss
He said “get her back, no matter what the cost”
But little did he know the old me was lost
And the only place you’ll find it is on the old rugged cross
So the “boss” is now in a total mess
Hatin every minute that I was getting blessed
And then it happened…
I died
What’s goin on? I wasn’t ready to leave
But I gotta remember every thing works out for those who believe
It was really quiet as I stepped up on the platform
And as I lifted my head the person standin there was the Lord
With Jesus at His right and the Holy Spirit on His left
Let me just be real and say I was a nervous wreck
The judgment didn’t take longer than a minute
They had reached a verdict
GUILTY…
A big smile went across my face when I heard it
He said “Well done my good and faithful servant”

Aaron Clark Poem
After I heard” You are the light of the world”
It kept me up all night and had my soul stirred
Got people asking me about what I learned
To them I’m acting strange because my life’s turned
They say “ Who are you and what have you done with our friend”
I say “I am your friend who’s found a love that’ll never end”
They say “ Be for real and stop all the nonsense. You’re not our friend because our friend didn’t have a guilty conscience”
I say “ Whatever man believe what you wanna believe
Because my new found faith was hard for them to conceive
Then of my friends asked “Aaron why are you so happy. I want that too, Do you think you can show me?”
I said” Ok, this is what I did. I fell to my knees.
I bowed my head, closed my eyes, and begged the Lord please.”
Then my friend asked” And how will that help me”
I said” It gives you a peace that makes you feel free”
Then my friend said “ This little phase ain’t gonna cut it in the streets”
I said” This ain’t a phase, it’s a condition, and I have it severely. And I don’t care because the streets has nothing to offer me”
My friend says “ Ok, I feel you and I wanna feel it too
But I have one more thing to ask you. Aren’t you scared?”
I looked at him, smiled, then said” Scared? Why should I be?”
