Not Broken but Redeemed

There was once a boy name Lonely
He lived with a loving caring mother named Love and a father named Phoney
He had brothers and sisters who were bad influences, a father who was known for his  abusiveness, and freinds who he lied to constantly
The trouble he had was, when people were around him, he would create argumentive strifes
He would cuss, fuss, and even fight just to make his point right
Not knowing within others he would ignite this dislike
They would have towards him
and the more he argued and lied, he was losing more freinds
When he was in middle school
He found these guys name Narcisstic, Anger, and Arrogance who were part of a gang named "Cool"
The boy had no problem fitting in with them, because he was broken like them too
Throughout his Junior high, he would just hang with these cats
He became more mature and chill and less of a brat
He also started to notice girls and many times with them he would chat
But they didn't like him because he considered "bad"
and it occured to him that even though he was hanging with the cool kids, he still wasn't accepted
This feeling killed him, just stirred his affections
Showing that he couldn't handle this rejection
He was just down-right sad, yet covering his face with smiles to show that this problem didn't affect him
At this point, Lonely was broken, alone, and lost but still for happiness and love, acceptance is what he searched
See, his whole life he's been known to go to church
He knew the story of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, even believe they exist but he wouldn't convert
Because he was so drunk and blindly in love with the curse
He was just so attracted, so stuck to sin regardless if it hurt
Until one day, Lonely just gave up and turned to the Lord
He yelled, "Father! I'm sorry and I ask you to please tune this broken chord"
God answered him and Lonely's heart face towards eternity and away from the world
Away from covered false identities and towards the beautiful truth that unfurled
He finally found acceptance, and that's what it seemed
He actually finally found peace, he was finally redeemed.
