ERICKA''S POEM ABOUT LIFE

Sitting here looking out the window of life, looking back at all the pain and strife, I had to endure
to make me, who I am now, and oftentimes I had to ask myself how.

How did I endure being a child of drugs?How did I endure being a child without hugs?How did I survive moving from place to place?How did I endure being just another a DYFS case.

A child of the system, there's so much I've been through. A child of the system, if you only knew what it's like to have a family you know nothing about.

It made me so mad that I just wanted to shout, but instead, I didn't; I just kept it to myself, trying not to dump my pain on anyone else.

Then God sent me an angel from Heaven above, a special angel to show me all kinds of love, an angel that I could tell my true feeling to.And she made me believe when she said,"Jesus loves you."

Without her and God I don't know what I would do.Dealing with all the pain and sorrow that I went through, but I kept in God's Word and prayed perpetually too.

And He showed me another side than bad; He said,"Trust in me child and you'll never be sad."
