I HAD CRIED TO YOU


I Had Cried To You 

There is a great deal of depression that has 
Overtaken my soul of long ago when I lost 
My control over what is right or wrong
It was like a sad love song and the rain that 
Floods deep within, 

I was too young to understand the ways of sin 
My life was never right in my mother's eyes 
No matter how hard I ever try

I was only two when I started crying out to you 
You touched my little heart from the start 
I would get down on my knees asking you 

Please make the hurt stop 
Into every inch that makes me whole would 
Be you Jehovah that kept my soul of long ago

I would cry deep in the night asking why did 
She doesn't love me and why did my father leave 
Me even without a word of goodbyes 

Their ware no words of what was right in my life 
All I have known was all that was wrong with no one in 
My life that loved me; I almost died in my teens 

And my mother didn't even come to see me 
But you did that day and you had spoken in my heart 
Saying you love me from the start, 

When your mother and father had left you off long ago 
I had never let you go, 
this I put down in my book 
For all to know you are mine along with many of my kind 

This world is so blind they cannot see what I need them to be 
But you my little one you are where 
I need you to be, Let your heart sing.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery / Judy Emery
