Welcome To My Life Poem by Shaunie Jarrett

Welcome to my life
The pain and the hurt
The blood that's seeping
Through my white shirt

The screams and shouts
The abandonment inside
The cuts and scars
That god does provide

All the things that could
Tear us both apart
They all lay right here
Hiding in my heart

The loneliness
The hateful lies
The enemies
The loss of lives

The ones we love
And those we hate
The ones who make
Our lives great

They all lay here within
Stopping us from commiting sin
The things that some of us don't need
And those who do are filled with greed
The things that help us change our lives
And help us through the good and bad
