Unprepared
The battle I faced during that time was a nightmare
I was surrounded by people who did not even care.
Room to room I went, felt like the walls were closing in on me
So mute by the darkness, trying to find my way but unable to see.
Be strong, stay encouraged and don't give up they said
They weren't in my shoes so they didn't understand the thoughts that went through my head.
So many nights I cried and prayed this was all a dream
I realized that people and things are not always what they seem.
I held on and kept my faith knowing things would eventually get better
Yet, all I was looking for was safety and shelter.
I promised myself that I will never ever be in that position again
I won't forget the treatment I received from so called family and friends.
