I Used to believe the things that they would say

My insecurities, my securities

Attacking the way I smiled, the way I laughed

Well of course I knew they were true

When my own mind would bring me down to the roots of my own obscurities

I used to except the people that seized my joy

My friends, my team

Pulling at my emotions, at my excitements

When the damage left by exclusion, brought from friends from past and present

I used to let manipulation control my hearts beat

My innocence, my trust

Influencing my way of loyalty, my way of reliability

When my friends left me drowning like a rock thrown in the ocean

From the ground I rose

To the girl I am

Strong, loving, faithful

To believing in my God

Respecting, caring, accepting

From creation I stand

Leading, giving, showing

From loss of love

To giving what I never had

I now show others their heart has a purpose

I now stand up to disrespecting remarks

The flame that feed off of loss, burned a mark on my heart

The people that said they care left an impressing of rotten love

But now Gods love shines through my eyes, my actions

Showing others, a hand will be there to squeeze

Support will be there to get through a life of desperation

For this life is not for me to control

My shoulders can not hold the world

When the world crushes me in an instant

My God will lift the world for us

I am here to give, to serve, to follow a life of integrity and good character
