As a child I went to Church, not by my own will… but because my Mother made me go with my Aunt and Cousin’s. I never really learned anything when I went; I was just there because I had to be. At the age of twelve, I left the Church and got lost in this world. By the time, I was thirteen I was smoking weed, cigarettes, and drinking Alcohol. I also started skipping school to get high. I would tell lies to my Mother about where I would be at and what I was doing. I would not come home when I was supposed to I thought I was grown.

i was on the road to hell
like the woman at the well
bound by careless decision making
i needed and awakening
wrong choices left and right
creating division and strife

bound by pain and regret
and trouble in my soul
i lost a part of me
but deep inside i knew
the key to set me free

little girl lost looking for love at any cost

where did she go
when her Savior
she came to know
in that tiny white church of long ago

but many years have passed
since that moment that I met
the one who held the key
to my destiny
