Hidden From Me
i'd always been taught that everything happens for the best,
that it's all meant to be, that everything i see, hear about,
feel, and what-have-you comes from One Source, and that
'it's all good,' as they say these days, but when it came to
my divorce, i was unable to reconcile all these 'truths' with
what i perceived as reality, so i became bitter, full of bile,
while every little thing upset me -- my equilibrium was
nowhere to be found -- if that makes any sense, until the
day that i found myself raising my hand high over my head
to strike one of my children, just like my father used to do
and i had vowed never to do, and that's when i knew
there is a reason
to everything in this world
