I like my new name. My whole life, I was named Melvin Harp. I didn’t know my real name until 1999. I did not know my father, or his name, or my mom’s real name. I did not know the rest of my family’s names, so I felt LOST in the world. But my life is much better since I found God. I try every day to make it. Sometimes it’s hard and good. Sometimes I walk down the street, thinking she or he is my family. I wish all people could get along and stop killing each other. I’m trying to control my anger and feeling depressed. I have been shot for $20. Now, I walk with a limp and screws in my leg. But God is good. It is me and my dog, and my pastor. I love Street Sense. It helped me to open up about myself. Now I have my own apartment, thank God. I was molested at the age of 16 years old, and today it still hurts me. I’m looking for love. I love myself now, but still feel alone. Sometimes I have tried to hurt myself, but no more.
May God bless me and all the people. Thank you.
