I feel your pain young brotha! by: Marcus

Young brotha, I feel your pain! I know how you feel, and what you’re feeling, because I went through what you're going through and I felt the same...

You lash out and at times you feel like you should crash out!
 
You feel an emptiness, you feel a void, you feel alone in this world, and when your mother or grandmother can't be everything to you - you become annoyed...
 
What you’re missing is a man in your life, someone to look up to, someone to follow, someone to set the trend, someone one that's the protector to the very end.

You didn't know, you got a father who is in heaven, sitting on high waiting
on you to call out his name, so he can direct your steps and clear the path, it's not hard if you picked up the Bible, started in the beginning took your time and read it to the end. You will see it's many that felt your pain, but every last one never gave up, because they had faith and eventually God made sure they made it to their end...
 
I know this all so well, because the picture of you now is a picture of me then...
 
No man in my life so there was no structure, I was headed for destruction, raised by the streets, headed the wrong way down a one-way; so I became a man before I was a man.
 
Doing things that I never dreamed of, picking up bad habits because it became natural, never thought for a second that I was really intellectual...
 
Finally, I came to my senses sitting in a jail cell, reminiscing about my past life, realizing that it was a bad life.

Now that I have the power to change, and become who I was created to be, who God intended me to be, I can accomplish my goals and dreams because right now in the life I live I operate in faith, because at the end of the day that's the only power I need to make it through them gates...
