The Fire That Opened My Burnt Eyes

Before reading this , please note it was for a contest , Not about my Son " The theme " A son that set fire to the home , confronting at police station " I do believe we have our Arsonist , but why ? amazing behind this mirror we hear truth & Lies " This time my heart broken, I can not accept your lies Now you have become felon before our very eyes Was I not a mother to you , surely I told you I love you This time I can not bail you out your story must be true did you want me to catch on fire Please tell me now ..was this your desire ? I am sorry for all I have done I am sorry for what you have become All I wanted was for you to smile surrounded by love Now I walk away from you in tears and ash in my throat Yes you have killed me no doubt I can only pray for your Salvation But Why ..Why I ask you with burnt eyes you have set a fire that weakens my soul Please God tell me this is not true my Son. Forgive him, he knows not what he has done. " ~ Profiling 101 contest ~

Shanity This is a powerful and very deep write. Full of feeling and emotion. You took the reader on a journey of sorrow, pain, and intensity. Nice job Thanks for the great comment on my Accept Me poem. I appreciate it.
