My prayer to you

Lord I come to you with a heavy heart, only you know my pain


Only, you know the burdens that I carry. And, right now I'm letting go


I'm giving it to you with tears in my eyes. Only, you know my struggles


Only, you know when my storm will be over, only you know when my sun will shine.


But right now this is my PRAYER, my cry to you I know you hear me


Because, I'm writing this as I kneel down on my knees.


In, prayer, sending my troubles up your way.


Because, I have to let go to move forward, I have to trust that


You, will turn my darkness into day,


My, sorrows into joy,


My, tears into smiles...


Lord right now I'm saying YES.


Right now Lord I need you to use me as your will.





Lord this is my prayer to you I made it up in my mind....

Detroit

Men killing men
A card game that brings bullets, so nobody wins
Black men dying
Unclothed babies on the corner of street life crying
Weed
A drug called speed
Slowly killing
Throwing a valuable seed
You craved
Money you saved
Right in your grave
Look what you made
Men killing men
Men on Crack
Crack had you bound in gagged
Down to every seed
And bags of weed
You was so gone you didn’t know what bags to grab
A life you never had a crack head gone mad
Skin withering
Mouth quivering
Hands shaken
Lay down the drugs in stop faken
You can find a better job
Flint
No money so we can’t pay the rent
Every other day another eviction letter is being sent
Sleeping on the floor, where the heat don’t flow through the vents
No electricity, when you hit the light switch
No fridge so we put the food outside, just so it would stay cold
I hope nobody finds out, because
We from a place where love don’t exist
So we have fits, and call it a quits.

I can't but I can for you

I can't be like everybody else
I can't sing a song joyful
I can't be myself anymore
all I can do is cry out loud
and praise my
God the way, I know
I can't be how you want me to be
But I can be myself
I can't serve you, but I can serve my God

Empty Thoughts!!

I search in my mind,
For, a place to think
But, my thoughts sink
They, cannot breathe for they
Have, fallen to deep
I cannot reach the surface
And, so my thoughts drown
They, drown in emptiness and
I'm left with empty thoughts.
