Stay
Kaprina Parham 1978 (Maryland)
This place is dark & a little scary too.
I'm so confused & don't know what to do.
I feel alone or at least one of a kind,
so-called friends have left me behind.
When life seemed brighter & it was just the other day.
Everyone was around with their children, ready to play.
As soon as negativity comes nearby to say, "Hi".
Friends begin to drop like a dead fly.
You know what, it's alright. It's okay.
Because prayer can change the day.
My God is better than you anyway.
Loyal to the end & better than a friend.
All my prayers go to God above.
My God is not dark, my God is full of love.
Confusion be gone, don't come my way.
Peace, love & happiness are here to stay.
