Not Broken but Redeemed


There was once a boy name Lonely He lived with a loving caring mother named Love and a father named Phoney He had brothers and sisters who were bad influences, a father who was known for his  abusiveness, and freinds who he lied to constantly The trouble he had was, when people were around him, he would create argumentive strifes He would cuss, fuss, and even fight just to make his point right Not knowing within others he would ignite this dislike They would have towards him and the more he argued and lied, he was losing more freinds When he was in middle school He found these guys name Narcisstic, Anger, and Arrogance who were part of a gang named "Cool" The boy had no problem fitting in with them, because he was broken like them too Throughout his Junior high, he would just hang with these cats He became more mature and chill and less of a brat He also started to notice girls and many times with them he would chat But they didn't like him because he considered "bad" and it occured to him that even though he was hanging with the cool kids, he still wasn't accepted This feeling killed him, just stirred his affections Showing that he couldn't handle this rejection He was just down-right sad, yet covering his face with smiles to show that this problem didn't affect him At this point, Lonely was broken, alone, and lost but still for happiness and love, acceptance is what he searched See, his whole life he's been known to go to church He knew the story of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, even believe they exist but he wouldn't convert Because he was so drunk and blindly in love with the curse He was just so attracted, so stuck to sin regardless if it hurt Until one day, Lonely just gave up and turned to the Lord He yelled, "Father! I'm sorry and I ask you to please tune this broken chord" God answered him and Lonely's heart face towards eternity and away from the world Away from covered false identities and towards the beautiful truth that unfurled He finally found acceptance, and that's what it seemed He actually finally found peace, he was finally redeemed.
