Ink and Light

pain creates strength and strength gives room for improvement 💈

[Ghost Records]👽

God is in the streets.
How do you think I am surviving?
They are chariots and soldiers.
Mountains and setbacks.

Warriors who have battled those before me,
Now they stare at me in the face,
In these streets,
They charge toward me.
Eager to devour me —or to stop me at least.

My only crime was sowing into my growth.
The mere determination that I must leave my
kindreds in a better place than I met them,
Angered these demons.

In these streets,
As I muster up courage and summon strength,
God is by my side always.
He is my Shield and my Refuge.
