My Life

Your hands are shaking 
Your face is sweating 
You look down and see
the cars wizzing by 
You stand there ready to jump
You think of all the darkness 
that is in your life
All the fear 
All the anger 
All the hate
That has been running your life 
In the back of your head
You hear your parents yelling at you 
Telling you that you are a faliure 
You know that nobody cares
about your feelings, all they care about
is using you for your own personal gain
You tell yourself that it will never happen again 
You close your eyes and say out loud 
"I LOVE YOU MORIAH"
And jump..................

We all feel these misconceptions from time to time. Love is not perfect here. God's love is . God is Love and knows all about and is all about what we are looking for. I've learned that the hard way which is how I learn everything it seems. The only place I jumped was down on my knees. And still do.Ask Him and you shall receive. Watch and see.keep on writing,Branden. Am saying one for you.-your friend in poetry. -Robert
