As I listen to my Christian brothers
My mind goes down memory lane
I remember all the things I had gone through
My past came flying back to me
I was reminded of when I thought no one cared
Thought that I had no reason to live
Remembering how I thought of ways to disappear
Erasing me from this world
The world of the living
Picking up the pills
Thinking of the time I shall be gone
Writing in my journal
Soon another memory filled my mind
When I had stop believing in my Father
Cursing him
Using His name in vain
Telling myself He was a lie
Yelling at Him
Testing Him
Not believing in my parents
Rolling my eyes at those who tried to bring me out of my shell
Making my shell thicker
So NO ONE could break through
Not even the Father and His Son
A grin came across my face as the lesson went on
A thought came to my mind
No matter how thick my shell was
He would break through
He waited for me
Waited for me to return
As of my friends and family
Soon I came back
Came back to my family, friends, and the Father
Came back to believing in Him
I snapped out of my thoughts when John asked who had not light a candle
I had raised my hand
I rose and he handed me a candle
Soon he lit my candle
When I sat back down and set the candle down I listen to the lesson
Jordan came and soon put his foot over my candle
Forcing the light to be put out
He explained that Satan put out that light
He soon told me to re light it
That is what I did
Yet, someone had to light it for me
For the wick was too deep in
When I sat back down
I watch the candle burn
Soon I thought of how deep the wick was
Then, realized, that wick was I
It was I at the point of my life
Thinking of death
And not believing in my Father
Soon I asked Jordan if I could say something
Told those how the candle I was holding compared to me
Told them how I thought of disappearing
How I stopped believing in my Father
When I was done
I was proud of myself
I was finally able to get that off my chest
I soon sat down and listen again
My mind went back to memory lane again
As they talked I thought more
More of my past
Soon remembering my younger years
Scaring those around me
Thinking of magic and darkness
Thinking of those that are not part of God’s teachings
Soon I was snapped out of my thoughts again
I stood and sang with everyone
Formed a chain with them
As I looked around at everyone
One word came to my mind
Family
This was my family
I do not only have a blood line family
I have a God family
God is our Father
While everyone else are brothers and sisters
Treating us all equal
At the end of our gathering
I listen as John told them
That they did not only have to talk to the leaders
They could talk to us
Aron, Jordan, John, Christ, any of us
I said that they could talk to me also
We all go through hardships
We need someone to help us
Many to help
We are a family
No matter what you say
I shall think of my Youth Group as a Family
Along with my church
And my friends
You will not be able to change my mind
For we are all family
And a family we shall stay
