It was pitch black
I could not see
wandering through the dark
blinded by the shit surrounding me
everywhere I went
seems things didn't quite
work out
toxic relationships
No shadow of a doubt
times I would holler
and I'd shout
But nobody heard me
cause I cried out internally
Entangled and strangled
gripped by fear and shame
Branches bending in the storms of my life
They whispered that I was a seed
said one day I'd grow into a mighty tree
that day I woke up
realizing all along
The Most High was walking alongside me!
