PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

is this what they said it was going to be like?

life in the womb of a mother who doesn't care

stuck in the paths of an abusive marriage...

the husband and wife, my parents...

sifting through a family where

you gotta shave your hair

just to get noticed...

tangled

mangled

in this toil of life

in this wreck we call earth

I need to escape... to be free

from this strife... and

to ignite the spirit dead inside

because I'm running on empty

I'm lonely and worn

exhausted and torn

I don't want to hide

anymore...

crying out

falling down

suddenly my frown

disappears

as the people burst into cheers

lifting my eyes toward the sky

I see the Most High

coming down in all His glory

He takes me hand and we are off

floating upwards

into His embrace

I'm finally safe

leaving the cruel world behind

free from the bind

it once had on me...

Now filled with hope, with joy, and peace

My eyes have been opened to the truth...

God always accepted me...

He made me exactly the way I am

It's not a sham...

It's the truth...

His love spreads out like a blanket of smoke

From birth to death...

His eyes never left me...

I cannot

I will not

ever go back

There's a longing in your stomach

an emptiness, something you lack...

it won't go away...

what it is, you can't quite say

I know...I have found it...

There is something you need more than life...

You need

A relationship...

a companionship

with the Lord

The very Giver of life itself

Don't delay...

Today is the day

of SALVATION!!
