Notes About The Poem

Cracked Inside

 
my heart has been broken and my soul cracked many times
I have been knocked down
life has stabbed me with with daggers that still bleed
I have fallen to pieces

life can be very cruel
and words and jabs can leave one fragmented and unsure
childhood was not a very happy journey
there was too much grief and death

my wounds are hidden
for I wear a mask of happiness each day
if people hurt me I become dark silent
where I fold my wings

but through
teachings philosophical I have studied
and found a great truth
a belief system and a code of morals

I asked God he said
put your faith in the bible
buddha says
live in now

and tao said have calm patience
so I have a new ideology path
can handle pain but think I will always be
a bit cracked

From what I understand you have suffered more from the loss of dear ones. That pain cannot be easily removed. But your faith in God's saving grace will make you stronger.

Stephan McBride March 7, 2023 at 7:05 PM Indeed for a long time this world had taught me to reject God, then through His guidance to reveal this is where He sent His son to save us from, thankfully God had mercy to flood through the crack of light my soul was longing for, still not easy now seeing how this world rejects the only way to find inner peace, love, and joy, and what God placed within, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance Constance La France March 8, 2023 at 3:39 AM Stephan, thank you for the compliment and for the wonderful comments. It is so easy to let God shine into ones life, just invite him, blessings, Constance Stephan McBride March 7, 2023 at 7:11 PM Sad world my friend but without a doubt you are here to write for us all, great strength coming from within, knowledge and wisdom that you have to share with all, to keep fighting, seeking the truth and moving forward Stephan McBride March 7, 2023 at 7:08 PM Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV
