It Hurts/Emotional Wounds

Before I started writing poems
I was experiencing some heart brake 
the relationship wit my 1st love failed 
so I started going on blind dates
I'm sorry to say but the scar 
my ex left on me is still eternally bleeding
and it's only by the grace of God
that I'm still emotional breathing
this wound hurts I just wanna
forget about her and lay back
but I need true love from a woman 
so I'm searching for it like a needle in a hay stack
I'm trying to get to the person I once was
hoping wit the next woman I meet
helps me to fall back in love
It's a hurting feeling thinking ya family don't love you
maybe because since birth 
your worldly father really didn't want you
so I figure my life was based on being accepted
and not to dwell on life's tragic emotional lessons
it hurts being played whether by ya girl or one of ya friends
I guess I thought my homies
would stay true to the end
but when it boils down to it
they can't save me from sin 
and since my family ain't much 
my Christian brothers & sisters are my closes to kin
I been emotionally wounded by this devilish world
you can see it in how I sleep how I'm all wrapped up & curled
when I look at what Christ suffered for me how can I complain
so I'm looking foward to the sunshine
But 1st I gotta deal wit 
this emotional rain
