Where I Live


Where I live there's no peace or tranquility.

Every conversation turns into an argument and every agrument turns into a fight

Werid, right?

Where I live .... I'm known as the liar and the devil's child.

And much more that I won't say because the conversation turns wild.

Where I live there's a rug in front of the door that says welcome, but

it should say happiness is not welcome here. Because at the door all smiles disappear...

I choose to believe I'm destined for greatness even though I'm called a failure.

They choose to believe everything alright

because unfortunately

all the horrific things happen out of their sight.

And I try with all my might to survive each and every night.

I know I'm a sinner, no need to remind me of my past.

But the friendship God and I made is going to last...

forever.

"Forever?!" the devil laughs, at my sorrow he laughs at

but I'm willing to get past that.

Where I live .. depression is so often I've mastered it to perfection.

Every obstacle is a lesson they say

well when is this lesson over? 

I pray

Where I live is NOT where i belong nor where I'm going to stay.

I stay in concentration on my final destination.

I used to not care or what to think about my future. I would feel as if the world doesn't care about how I'm going to end up, why should I. Then moving in with my dad and surrounding myself with loving people I've regained my spiritual strength and confidence.
