Be patient.( http://resilnet.uiuc.edu/library/dig126.html ) TrustTrust is a very common word in this world.We neglect and abuse it as if it was a worried dog.

Trust is a word people overuse like, Trust me. When I get out I wont be back.

Ten days later theyre in the same place as they were two weeks ago.

I know its very common, but believe me when I say I wont be back.

Id rather stay with my family and have my little brother bullying me around. Come Friday, no more sleepless nights, no more cold nights.

Im going to get out and set my life. Y.PhaseDarkness crept right up my doorand chose me to explore.I wonder why Im doing this-thats when darkness completely takes over.I dont know whats happening until I get sober.I end up behind locked doors and it seems that God gave upand handed me to the devillike I was some sort of rebel.Deep down Im in a teenage phaseand always have time to change.

S. B. 7Facing My Lion

Facing my lionIs going to jail and end up crying.

But Im going to fight.I want to be free and see daylight.

Im not going down.Ill win my case and put on a crown.

If I get another chance, Im going to take advantageAnd not steal things, cause I know Im not a savage.

THIS is facing my lion-Never giving up. Im gonna keep fighting.
