"Situations"
by: Willie Jones

Oh, how my mind seeks rest,
Oh, how my soul seeks a friend.
My soul still goes without,
because of the situation I'm in.
My situation causes pain, it causes destruction and disgrace.
It even caused the ones who loved me,
to disappear before my face.
Some lasted for a winter, some through the spring and fall,
Some even lasted for a summer,
but my situation outlasted them all.
Now it's only me and my situation,
And it hurts me like a curse.
Some even think my situation,
Will outlast my life here on earth.
But God forbids, He won't allow my situation to last that long.
For God made me a real man,
And my situation is not that strong.
So why did they let my situation scare them,
Was their love even real,
Or was it "Out of sight, out of mind",
Regardless of how one feels.
But I must respect my situation, it taught me to help myself.
It taught me to love everyone, but trust no one else.
It's funny how situations occur.
But even funnier how they end.
I'll never forget my situation,
because it showed me my true friends.
