Poem
YOU RAISED ME HIGHER Lord, you raised me from a child Have stood by me as I walk miles Trying to find faith and peace A home, a friendly face, at least I had no home, no parents, and no friends The trauma I saw, I didn’t think would end As I grew in darkness, I grew in your light I saw two sides of people, like day and night Lord, as I grew older, I learned to be The greatest version you gave me My soul is pure, and my vision was clear You always helped me when in fear I moved away from the rock, at Seventeen I was full of hope, so full of dreams I got to live, for six beautiful years I laughed out loud with friends, I shed no tears But, at Twenty-two I was brought down Life was taken from my body, dreams crushed on the ground And you always stood by, protecting me While I met the hell, everyone refused to see Lord, you raised me up higher, when I fell down You kept my mind and soul, safe and sound When I prayed for hope at all cost You always raised me up when I was lost Lord, they broke my body, and almost my mind I fought a cruel system, lost in so many crimes Years passed slowly, but, I refused to give in I believed there was more, Lord, you were my friend Thirty-five years later, I'm stronger, I am still alive I broke all their rules because I would not comply Now I sit in my home, in peace and faith I see a different future, I'm in a different place My mind is power, I am light Now, I guide your angels, day and night And what you speak, I freely share To let them know there is someone always there I survived much more, my angels, you will too Look closely at your real mind, God shows a truth Nothing in the darkness can take you down Unless you make it the king and give it a crown..... (c) Giggles the Poet April 1, 2018 2:32 p.m. I MADE IT AND SO CAN YOU MAKE YOUR MIND YOUR BITCH ;) Change your story, change your fate
