My Life's A Journey Poem by precious dennis

Tell me why do so many people hate me
When you look at me what do you see?
When you see me what do you think?
If you hate me I'm gone before you can blink
Sometimes my back may be against the wall
But I know God will get me through it all
And he will never let me fall
He'll make sure he heals it all
When I was younger I was abused by my dad
My mother abandoned me and I was so sad
I knew that my heart would never be the same
God told me that I'd be okay even on my weakest day
So I'm getting a little bit stronger, a little bit better
Knowing that I'll make t through any kind of weather
Meeting a family who loves me is the best thing that ever happened to me
How I wish my father could see
Everything that's happened for me
Cuz right here is where he should be
Holding me tight, tucking me in at night
Telling me that everything will be alright
Where is he now? , Where did he go?
Left me in a world that's so mixed up and cold
Things started to get better when I went to live with my aunt in California
I thought the drama was finally over
But it's funny how I just lied to myself
My world started to fall apart and it fell
2 1/2 years went by I started to cry
My aunt said it was time to say goodbye
To California, to my sister and my brother, and to my Cali dreams
When will this pain end in me, I'm back to Philly where I'd be free
I'm just a 15 year old girl
Trying to make a living in this cold and mixed up world
I should of listened to my mama when she told me about the boys
They go around treating girls like they're toys
Only want one thing so don't give it away
Cuz you'll be lying, crying saying you're okay
I've been that way so many times before
When hard times came knockin at the door
But God told me not to be afraid
That he'll guide me along the way
So maybe I'm just pretending it doesn't hurt
Walking around trying to make it work
I've made a thousand mistakes only to turn my life around
Hope it's not too late to smile and be a better person now
Life is a highway you can go down or up
Searching high and low for someone to love
My life's a journey but I'm still standing tall
God is my hope when my back's against the wall
