Transition
La Toya Smalls 1973 (Savannah)
Searching for light,
Clinging to wrong,
Wild and untamed!
Bad temper!
Anger misplaced,
Hot headed!
Cold heart!
Raised Baptist,
Schooled as a Seventh Day Adventist,
Rejected by Catholics,
I made mistakes today and yesterday.
I give plenty.
people just take.
A game I refuse to play
A race I will not run.
Many heartbreaks: young and old.
The choices I make;
Round and Round I go
When will I stop nobody knows.
What lessons must I learn?
Dead Ends!
Wrong turns!
Dating boys, never men
All my life I had to fight
Beaten and bruised!
Physically and mentally
My life must change
Thank God almighty
I made it through
touch not his anointed
I am in the number
Yes, I made it in
I think I'm finally beginning to learn
Love is the Key
God's love is tight
Please share
