Please Don't Give Up On Me Poem by Ima Ryma

I'm told that when I was born, I
Was given up in a trash can,
Unwanted, I'll never know why.
My feel abandoned life began.
The foster care system was just
A back and forth from here to there,
Never reason or time to trust.
A troubled teen filled with despair,
I joined a gang and went along
With committing a lot of crime.
Down deep I know that I did wrong.
The State agreed, I'm doing time.

Though oft a sinner I did be,
Oh God, please don't give up on me.
