Notes About The Poem

For Contest trigger warning sponsor Tom Woody

In The Clouds

I chose to dwell in the clouds 
Rise above the demonic shouts
The verbal and physical abuse
Sexual assault harassment too

There is no reason to worry wait
For an apology to come my way
I am but a poor little girl child
Born in sin in a bipolar world wild

It is my cross to blackberry bear 
Memories crown of thorns in hair
You know they did worse to Christ
So I can bear this one more night

And when he comes in my room
I mentally shut down spirits zoom
Rising me above the bed of darkness 
Into the celestial light where God IS

I can see ancestors in amethyst glory 
Listen to Christ tell us all another story
My body is a chocolate abandoned shell
That belongs to the Lord no one else

I’m free to be emerald empowered
By love which the Father has power
I’m new in Him light as a feather
I can withstand sinful white weather 

So if you want to feel sorry do not
I am stronger for it due to God
I flow like a gold soul above rainbow clouds
As an example and sample He allows
