METH HEAD TO WOMAN OF GOD

I was what people would call a “Meth head;”

I remember losing my son; torn, broken and inside I was dead.

I heard people say, “Yeah, she’s headed back to jail;”

I saw my life going in a downward spiral, headed straight to hell.

I worried I would always be burden down with the jail strife;

I thought if I don’t stop using, I’m going to end up with 10 years to life.

I am a very strong woman of God and this He let me see;

I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I need to change and I want change in my home;

I try fasting with prayer because I know I can’t do this all alone.

I feel good about myself and I love the person I am today;

I forgive the ones who hurt me and pray that God will take that pain away.

I will be positive and know that I am a beautiful woman;

I chose to be free from addiction and change, despite the rumble.

I dream of a future with my child and the rest of my folks;

I hope when get out; God will release me of the past yolks.

I predict one day I will get married and have my own family;

I know I’ve changed this time and I’m determined to stay out of the devil’s ramblings.
