Notes About The Poem

Recovering addicts all have that small flame in the back of their minds of taking the easy way out. I would rather tell those that want in my gates the brutal truth before I' ever coat it with a lie. I'm not going to destroy myself for a human race that doesn't have the power of my God.

Did You Know Her?

Isn't she a sight?
Her inner nature has began to take flight.
No person on Earth will ever hold a candle 
to the beauty of her inner wisdom.
Years of lessons to sift through
before she would see herself in that same view.
She wanted to give up.
She tried to tap out. 
God just kept telling her
there was a purpose for the pain
and everything would not likely sound sane.
That pain she lived and the love she lost
was all paid with the highest cost. 
She was determined to show the world of truth
Just how they had managed to continue the growth. 
If you got to see the reality of the person she is within,
then know that mind of hers is always going to win. 
She cried and begged for the pain to certainly end,
yet there she was, 
the rock and hard place 
and the pin would do her in. 
She was nowhere near perfect
but her soul was full of a fire. 
God would always re-stoke her
and the blaze would be higher.
No man can oppose the truth of her survival. 
How else did she live
in the faces of her rivals?

Thank you! I've got a lot of life that I spill out because, if I can be real and it saves even one person to see a light at the end of their tunnel, I will bare the entirety of my soul. So, I will always write truth. Share what you see. If it touches you, use it to touch others.
