A Year Ago

A year go I wanted to die

I didn't try

My father loved drugs more than me

I wish I was carefree

But reality was reality

Then a guardian angel taught me life was worth living

That life is about giving

That life was about forgiving

That life was about being kind

Even when mankind was evil

And our government was medieval

That's what life's about

Even when we are treated unfairly because of our skin color

Or because we don't have a dollar

 

Now I know life is about helping those in need

Those who bleed, or smoke weed, or those who can’t feed their children

That is why I NOW want to help those mentally messed up

Those who are in need of someone

Those who want to hold a shotgun to their head

Those who are alone

Those who are unknown

Thanks to that teacher I now know i’m not alone
