Poem Title:
Poem
I began my journey hoping to find myself Looking upon life lessons to trust in no one else Being abused emotionally has cause me great pain Expecting the unexpected can make one emotions hard to maintain How can one justify the truth to fit the wrong? Being that lessons are taught to help one to become strong Where is the truth when lies are lifted to cover the words spoken? Having to make choices by closing the door that was once open? I endangered my heart with the emotions that I created If love was not a requirement of God, then many would be hated Then maybe I wouldn’t be going through these tears each day And reaching out for something that wasn’t ever meant to stay Challenged by my beliefs I had to endure it all Although the setup was purposed for me to walk until I fall It was hard to know these words to accept and stand tall Before you ask, my answer is, “Yes” I can handle it all What is love without God, without hope, without trust? I made myself clear when I explained these things were a must Giving and receiving are things that we are obligated to do from time to time Listening and learning are thing that will set us ahead or steps behind Till death does us apart was not just a scripture quoted by me It has purpose or else God wouldn’t hold it against me Options are choices give to one to make wise decisions Any yet we abuse them because freedom has caused us to lose vision How much can someone take before they decide to put up a stone wall How much can a person be abused before they do away with it all I gathered my thoughts and I began to redirect the way I think And my conclusion was that I must not allow my heart to sink Problems sometimes happen when we least expect them to And the hardest task to pass is the task that defines you We only know our strengths when they are challenged And we are only as strong as we can manage “The Simple Words”
