'Adversity' The child within me is crying I feel my heart begin to break … something inside me is dying My body begins to shake I cannot stop the tears, as they begin to fall Piercing my soul like spears … the memories start to call Unwanted images of the past, charge blindly through my mind Venomous shadows they cast … Reflections never kind I wish I could forget, how life used to be But I’m tangled in a net From which I cannot get free I want to live for today … let go and close the door Turn my back and walk away … purge my being to the core I yearn to venture forward, but the past I can’t ignore & my pleas for help go unheard, As my soul lies dying on the floor Somehow, I know all is not lost Surely I’m not alone … into this life I’ve been tossed & each day I have grown So much I have learned … I’m still learning now Many times I was burned … and I often wondered how I managed to survive … but it’s the fear of anguish That pushes me to strive … compelling me to wish I could simply close my eyes & force the past to disappear Eliminate the whys … and make the answers clear |
