Speaks Volumes Poet Kyrielle

Notes About The Poem

My Bruised Soul

My name defamed, my soul is bruised.
With no proof I’m falsely accused.
My accuser’s believed today.
Lord heal my aching soul I pray.

My soul’s innocent has no shame.
I did not do what they all claim.
How do I disprove what they say?
Lord heal my aching soul I pray.

Cease hate and persecution too.
Let them see the harm they all do.
Trusting the lies she has to say.
Lord heal my aching soul I pray

Sam Kauffman August 17, 2023 at 10:40 AM SV your cry for justice and truth is universally understood by all of us when unjustly accused - when people believe lies rather than look for truth or ulterior motive. Well done! Sending you prayers for healing. Speaks Volumes August 17, 2023 at 11:21 AM Thank you Sam. I have been brought up to take people as I find them, and not take into account what others may say. This mind set has never let me down. I wish it was universally adopted. Your words are appreciated. I am in full recovery mode, and looking forward to being back in full swing.

I Am Anaya August 17, 2023 at 8:10 AM Congratulations on your win, Wendy! Gina gave you a top win because she loved your beautiful poetry (and not a hate poem) in any manner. Happy for you. Speaks Volumes August 17, 2023 at 10:27 AM In all honesty, this poem was a call for peace, I hope not too many saw hate somewhere between the lines because there was none. You are never afraid to speak your mind. I so admire that in you Anaya. There is always truth in your words. God bless you my friend. I trod lightly but I am back I again will begin commenting when I read wonderful poetry with out fear. Thank you. Best wishes and love SV

Regina Mcintosh August 17, 2023 at 1:32 AM Wonderful writing. Congrats and God bless you, Love, Gina Speaks Volumes August 17, 2023 at 2:34 AM Gina, your words, and this win in your contest are a reward I had hoped for. So very much appreciated.

Linda Alice Fowler August 2, 2023 at 4:29 PM I'm oblivious Svvie. Believe in yourself. All else is insignificant. :) Speaks Volumes August 16, 2023 at 9:26 PM Thanks laf. Keep smiling.. I know I will..

Charlotte Puddifoot July 31, 2023 at 6:44 AM toxic people are not worth bothering about..just continue to write your poems and speak your truth Speaks Volumes July 31, 2023 at 4:50 PM I would charlotte but it has started badly affecting friends and acquaintances on here because of contact with me. As you know I have been silent for a long time, but now it has been taken too far. Thanks for your comment Charlotte I Am Anaya July 31, 2023 at 12:24 PM Hi Charlotte, Wendy has dignity and I admire that about her. She has made up her mind. It's nice of you to encourage freedom of speech!

Valsa George July 30, 2023 at 8:34 PM I feel this has come from your heart. There is something badly hurting you . Just ignore what others say. Invite God to solve your problems. When your conscience is guilt free, why should you fear the fingers pointed on you! The world is one which persecutes innocence. It has been so from the time of Socrates, to Christ and Mahatma Gandhi ! Be brave dear friend ! Speaks Volumes July 30, 2023 at 8:49 PM This one did come truly from heart and soul. I have ignored it for such a long time, but it seems it will never go away. Maybe sweet Valsa they will realize what they have done, judging by only listening to one, then realize the damage they have done.

I Am Anaya July 30, 2023 at 7:08 PM Hey Wendy, sounds like you are letting yourself get caught up with those in control of absolutely nothing. You crossed the path of a few dark-spirited folks. Know that everyone is watching, and those who care about you will come by because they love your poetry! Beautiful poem. A friend my dear. I Am Anaya July 30, 2023 at 7:45 PM soupmail Speaks Volumes July 30, 2023 at 7:21 PM I was silent Anaya, Now it has affected a friend. That's going too far. I will probably leave soup now. I know this post wont go well for me, but they must put it to rest now. None of them have asked for my side, and I was blocked from commenting so I remained silent. Started fresh and hoped it would finish , but it hasnt. Warning.. dont class yourself as my friend. I appreciate your sentiments.

Robert Gorelick July 30, 2023 at 6:21 PM Just before his execution, Thomas Moore proclaimed that no more damage has been done then through the cruel lies blasting through men's mouths. Wendy, I feel bad for your situation, but let me assure you, such cruelty is nothing new. Robert Speaks Volumes July 30, 2023 at 7:29 PM I deleted 200 of my poems changed my identity, as my good name had been maligned, and figured it would end. What more of me did they want ? It seems it wasn't enough. I honestly don't think she realizes what she is doing, trying so hard to destroy me, and how much it has hurt. I wonder if her new found popularity in being a victim is worth it. I wonder if any of them realize. Thanks for your comment Robert.
