From the Inside Out

Those dark days of reality, have finally set in, confined to a cell, is your life once again. The demons you have lived, are coming to collect, look at yourself, and see what reflects. Hundreds of nights, are now showing the signs, you probably lost count, of how many times. Loved ones now strangers, as your rage demands, we are your victims, trying to understand. Another direction, will soon come into play, plans for your future, are now being made. Now able to sleep, I know where you are, prayer brought me answers, you're safe behind bars. The healing process now begins, from this day forward, I know you will win. I'll be right here, like I have always been, but a little wiser, and always your friend.

Christi this is a very touching write; one could sense the emotions as they flow from the heart my friend. It is a hard road to travel and sometimes it is necessary for the LORD to intervene, before the hurtful trail gets to far out of hand. I pray that things will work for the betterment of all concerned. Thank you for sharing your strength through this heartfelt read. God’s Love and Many Blessings, Always, Adell

This is very well written - and very sad. We have a good friend right now who is in jail for all his stupid behavior, and it is very sad to give up on someone you care for...but sometimes, enough is enough. Love Kristin
