When you come from a life
Of trauma, heartache, and pain
Will you continue to strife
And live life in vain?
Not knowing there is another way to live
Thinking you’re doomed in a life of sin
Wondering if you will ever be able to forgive
Believing that no matter what you will never win
You learn to adapt to a life full of negativity
Always asking yourself one thing
Was this really life’s plan for me?
Because I don’t find it amusing
You crave love and acceptance
That’s not asking a lot
You get hate and vengeance
Not at all what you sought
As you grow older
You will begin to finally see
Loving yourself is bolder
And can help you to be free
