You were looking for answers
You searched computers
You searched brains
You asked scientists
You even asked God!
Were you desprate?
You told me you didn't like him
That you didn't belive in him
That he could never help you.
You said that you asked him questions, but he never answered you.
He did, but you didn't hear him.
He said, follow your dreams
Follow your enemys
Follow your love
Follow your hope
Find your faith
Find you home
Look all around
Find anything you can.
I heard it, now it's your
turn.
Follow anything and everything you can for the right help. I did.

It took me a couple years to find God, but I found out I had him all along. I wasnt looking hard enough.
I was natrally a god girl for no reason at all. It just came to me.

no offence....but that sucks! I have a couple freinds with parents like that.... just get through it and listen to them (even if thay make you made) cuz once u move away.... u will relize how much u miss them and (hopfully) how they helped u through life. I kind of wish that sometimes I had strict parents. But I love mine.... so I'm good.

haha, proofread, as in, read again to check for errors. it's a term used whenenver there's writing involved.. just to make sure yuo don't have silly mistakes like little spelling errors that you could've avoided before posting, ya know? Like, for example, "enemys" is spelled "enemies" and "Find you home" should be "your" instead of "you". Little things, but you shouldnt have too many x) it's cool tho, don't worry, just a little pointer. keep writing, i'd love to read more from you!
