Survival

No one knows my anguish since age ten
A mind without peace,great suffering
Whippings I couldn't bear
Lessons to hard for my disrupted mind
Picked on,and almost drowned not going to school
I had jobs of many kinds
Some I lost,others I quit
Made it in the Navy
And even offered the position Officer
If I completed college they sent me
I slept in rescue missions
While looking for work on Merchant ships
In Haiti I slept on the airport grounds
Because my money finished,couldn't afford a hotel
From seeing a voodoo man,who took my money
It was mental anguish that I felt
I was seeking peace however I thought was right
Now after all,my mother is correct
Jesus Christ is the peace maker
I believe in Him and my mind feels better
I have come a long way however need medicines
The Doctors said it's a chemical imbalance
But I have completed college
Worked as a teacher in China
Life has not been the same since then
I have a mission to share
Survival,which comes from God
And it can be peaceful.
