The Test (.My Favorite.] Poem by Antonaeshia Andrews

I walked down the empty highway,
With no shame.
I was soaked from the rain.
But it didnt matter,
Wether I was even there to begin with.
I ran away from home thats why im here.
To me life is just another pain,
Added to the hurt and the tears,
Attached to my heart also to my name.
I looked up towards the sky,
And asked why send so much pain.
I never ment to hurt anybody when I said those things.
I looked back down and walked away,
In the pouring rain back down the highway,
Back to the place where I belonged.
I stopped half way and saw a bullet with my name carved on it,
Lying in the grass by its side was a pistol.
I did what i thought would cure the pain,
Put it together and pulled the trigger....,
Now I know there'll be no more pain,
But I soon realized it was a test,
A test to test my strength and my ability to let no one stop me,
Even though I wanted to do it so badly,
I threw it down and ran while I cried all the way home,
And buried myself into my mothers arms and cried myself to sleep.
The next morning I awoke feeling no pain and no regret in my life,
I was starting over I'd been given a second chance.
The devil tryed to ruin it for me but people like him,
Never win.
