Preoccupied with how I've been classified,
Praying for God to once again save my life,
I became a minister when God showed me the signs,
Blessed with visions that I've prophesied,
A messenger from The Almighty Most High
I feel like now is my time
For my soul to be sanctified.....
I pray to God because he is always by my side,
Times I was lost, broken, and blind,
He always left something for me to find,
Every time I've fallen he gave me ladder to climb,
Every step up was a struggle but that struggle is mine,
Every time I broke down to my knees and cried,
He reminded me to look up at the sky,
The guilt was heavy, but that guilt is mine,
Every time I hurt myself he made me more dissatisfied,
The hunger grew in my eyes but that hunger is mine,
when i hated my reality, he removed the blindfold from my eyes
I created torture in my mind but that torture is mine,
When I gave up he didn't let me die,
My suffering became my life, but the suffering is mine.
I am proud to carry everything that is mine,
Today I am strong and I am wise,
I've learned not to forget but leave the past behind,
I have found happiness when I stop and simplify,
I am not known to cause harm or tell a lie,
I am grateful for what I have and I am satisfied,
I use my knowledge in the best interest of everyone's life,
I am not jealous and I don't carry ill thoughts in my mind,
The words I speak are true, I don't feel different inside,
I love every blessing and I appreciate being alive!
God is my savior, he is my guide
I know I am right,
I refuse to lose sight,
No matter how hard they hit, I will continue to fight,
God will shed his light
For the truth is my alibi
This is my life
And this is what I tesify........
