Staring out the window

Staring out the window as far as my eyes can see.
Drug Dealers, crackheads, pregnant girls all a epitome of what could have been me.
I know these people all to well
Because underneath this soft shell
Lives a kids who has seen it all
Sat and watched my friends and family fall
Victim to these streets we walk
Murdered by statistic talk
They believed what was told to them..."never make it out this hood"
Now I sit and look at them their all up to no good

....I Sit here and breath. What I see is hard to believe. Yesterdays doctors and lawyers are all out there. But they forgot there dreams and got stuck somewhere between dreams and reality. Now there just a product of their enviornment.Or more so they use the products of their enviornment.

The sun has set now. But there still out there. There next high is more important then rest or the fact that cold chill of night time has come with a shadow. I wonder if they acknowledge this shadow. Or if they know the difference between the shadow of cold and the shadow of death. Or if they even care.

Gods Favor

..."LOVE is patient, caring, LOVE is kind, LOVE is felt most when it's genuine, but I've had my share of love abuse, manipulated and it's strength misused..." -Hezekiah Walker

This blog is inspired by the power of prayer. I realize how struggle with dealing with peoples problems like their my own. But now that I think about it I've just learn to call on the name of God more in trials. I think I've prayed for my friends lately more than I've prayed for myself. I guess its just my character. Still I answer the question why a lot! I arrive at roads I'm scared to move across more often than none lately. I realize I carry other peoples burdens stronger than I carry my own. But i also realize that through the years God has built me strong to face their problems as well as my own. I understand my friends more...but I think don't realize how much I understand their circumstances and how their problems taught me how to pray. Something that hasn't always been the easiest thing for me to do! But now I understand! I thank God for the prayers he heard and answered! I'm thankful for understanding my friends and family and being able to cry tears in prayer for them. God does favor me in spite of my personal struggles...and I'm glad to say that God has been good to me!
