The Help of God

I don’t want to write about another mistake,
That just resulted in another heartbreak,
I don’t want to think about the times I was scared,
To talk to the ones I knew always cared,

I don’t want to know how my life could have been,
Nor do I want to dwell on every little sin,
I never want to feel so empty and alone,
Or what it’d be like without a home,

I want to feel saved and blessed,
Instead of broken and depressed,
I want to think about how I’m able to smile,
Even if it’s just every once and a while,

I want to know that my friends will always be there,
And that I’ll always be able to say my prayers,
I want to be emotionally strong and able,
Instead of being so unwillingly unstable,

I want to write about how I’m happy,
I love knowing that I can be,
I want to rejoice that I’m alive,
Knowing I’ll be able to survive,

The help of God was all it took,
For me to get a better outlook,
I view the world differently,
And beauty, I can now see,

Even when I feel that no one cares,
I know that God will always be there.
