lOVING ME..........FINALLY
By: Ebony Queen Freeman
When my mother died I was "9" years old
That's when I learned this world was cold
we all were placed in foster homes
hardly ever seeing one another, but talking on the phone
My sister tried to commit suicide by jumping out a window
when she needed them the most, where did all her friends go?
I hated myself and i wanted to die
They sent me to a shrink who only asked me why?
I told him that my life wasn't worth living
Being stuck in a world of constant giving
He claimed he was concerned about how I felt
Something about a raw deal that I'd been dealt
When I got older I tried to escape
but,freedom was expensive and I got raped
The rapist said "my life was a lie
and nobody cared about the tears I cried"
I went to the streets looking for love
I found comfort in "Crack" the drug
Alot of times the devil would insist
"just end it all, slit your wrists"
until I learned I had a real soul saver
God was always there for me and he never asked for favors
This was the lesson I had to learn in order to be free
I could never love any one else if I didn't start with ...ME!!!
