I woke in this world and I felt so confused
The light was so bright yet this coldness consumed
I learned as a youngster what others had known
That life wasn't right and the justice was gone
I clung to my life, terrified of death
night terrors did haunt me alone and bereft.
I hurt with the others, timid and sad
outcast as a child by children gone bad.
They were mean and cruel due to words that I'd lack
so my peers would befriend them to avoid an attack.
A group of us outcasts recessed in the park
When an outcast gone cool made this remark
"If you would just come hang with us you too would be cool."
I glanced at the outcasts who played by the rules.
I felt in my heart I could not go with him
for these outcasts were lonely and I fit right in.
He went on his way, and the taunting did cease
So I cherished my friends and my heart was at peace.
Lesson by lesson I've learned in my life
For God is my guide and He leads me through strife.
At first glance its sad, when you see what I've seen
But then looking back I learned what it means.
It's just for perspective that I have felt pain
to understand others who go through the same
when the option is granted to run or to help
that intimate knowledge leads me so well
I can't turn away for its mixed with my pain
To leave one in turmoil and go on my way
its as if I were there still stuck in their shoes
so I'll always turn back with nothing to lose
I owe this to God and all that I've learned
I love all that He taught, even though it has burned.
