What Only Angles Hear

Daddy never did understand. That violence doesnt bring comfort. A lost soul seeking acceptance from a unwelcome hand. She was silent no one ever knew. The secrets behind her bruised eyes. A shocking victem none but all had a clue. She cried to empty walls never speaking aloud from fear. A confession of pain and shattred trust. this is only what angles hear. Scars selfinflicted are better than that dirty feeling. As she lays a broken shell gazing at the celling. She questions if others know what will they say. Doing whatever it takes to stay numb. Innocence lost a parent should never betray. The guilt was placed apon the wrong head. Void of all emotion. No child should yern to be dead. At times it gets to uncomfortable so in another direction we steer. For at times it's just to painful to stomach. What only angles hear.

Evil can mutilate the body...It can shatter the mind...But it can never possess the Soul...Only God can do that. My warmest regards, JPR...And have a happy and fulfilling New Year. God bless. :) john
