Made It Out Of A Fire Poem by Lady N

I got no place I could live; I just made it out of a fire,
Hose got burned to ashes; I can no longer get what I desire,
Time to make sacrifices, but I'm not used to this, it's rough for me,
Time to start thinking about what I need, because what I want is just a luxury,
I heard the flames spread out so fast, nobody was prepared,
The house became filled with smoke, now everyone's gasping for air,
I'm just glad that they got out, and that everyone was okay,
Not sure if we'll be fine, so to the Lord, humbly, I pray,
The house was special to me, part of my history,
But then the fire came and burned away all the memories,
Didn't know how special it was, but I do now that it's gone,
I'm just a scared little girl, who's secretly trying to stay strong,
Scared of how they'll look at me, if they ever found this out,
A homeless little black girl, is what they'll think without a doubt,
We've got financial problems, our teachers secretly paying our bill,
God forgive the ones who would not help, and bless the ones who will,
3 days ago was my birthday, and I spent it at a bus stop
Because my family didn't have the money, to but me presents from a gift shop,
No cake or ice cream either, or balloons and cupcakes too,
So on that night I prayed for God to help us make it through,
To help us out this mess, and help us back on our feet,
Because this battle is too hard, so to it we must retreat,
But this battle is not ours; I once heard that in a song,
And because I know its God who's fighting, it won't be lasting long,
We got no place we could live; we just made it out of a fire,
House got burned to ashes, but God will give us what we desire,
Time to make sacrifices, time to make some different plans,
‘Cause I know God will get us through, if we just put it in his Hands,
