What was a lovely evening...ended in disaster
I had to kneel and pray before my master
I passed out...that's no doubt
Couldn't see a thing
But I heard...everyone shout
Shattered lives....
Shattered dreams...
And all that other stuff...in between
I don't want to be mean...
But I have washed my hands clean
Of all those things
That hurt...in between
Family isn't what it used to be
For that is sure...as far as I can see
One thing about it...I am always me
My spirit and soul...from now on is free
Free from burdens
Free from pains
Free from all the tears I shed
Causing rain
I try to make things right...
When all I get is a family & inlaws that fights
I wished I was a kite
So I can take flight
Gone with that wind...
Like riding on a bike
It doesn't matter how I feel
But from now on...here is tha deal
I am keepin it real
Satin is out strong...
To seek whom he can steal & kill!
The danger you speak upon me
Is the very situation...you are going to be
Family values, has gone out tha door
So here we are....in this situation
Once more!
I am not tha one to blame
But it seems, that I am tha one
Who endures all tha pain
Is this personal gain?
I am quiet for a reason
It's written in the word...
There is a time and a season
When I came back...
It was God's will...not mines
I won't be running anymore
No, not this time
I am here to stay
To conquer Satin
In any way
I'm not that person I was yesterday
I'm not at all who I used to be
I've grown and decide to live for me
I stopped apologizing for what grown folks do
I'm only responsible...for my two
I put my family in his hands
I pray that God has mercy
In his plan
I have done...all that I can
It's not up to me
Nor is it up to man
I'm all about Love...
Not about hate
I'm glad God has lifted all this weight
I'm not speaking death on you
But you need to realize...and get a clue
I wouldn't want anyone to lie in state
Especially for a simple mistake that we all make
But the way you live...
Determines your fate
Keep going down this path
I will see you at your wake
Get some help for you attitude and addictions
Stop going around causin...confliction

The Lord is our Protector
True feelings and true emotions are felt in every line that is written....You hold the Lord near to keep satan's will away....
I really liked this one to speak of the Lord as the protector of those who we hold dear and ourselves...
Great Write....

It's all Good
You know all of us have been thru, right?
No matter where we've been, we don't know where we are going. So I try my best to do right by folks and do what is Pleasing to the Lord. Can't go wrong there.
Thanks for the comment once again,
Ephiphany
Love your name, BTW

Raw feelings and powerful depths have been exposed here. U are not afraid to show how u feel regarding a lack of love, fam, and friends. Great job and I hope u never stop expressing urself. Go sis. -theQueen"
