Danielle White Poet Rhyme

Sublime

My eyes are stinging, burning,

            tears scalding down my face,

                         my heart is in a vise of guilt

                                             as I wallow in disgrace.


I dread the Karma I've created

                      in this lousy, crazed lifetime.

                                 How I've damaged my children,

                                                  the punishment, sublime.

Kristin Reynolds February 7, 2009 at 3:45 AM I have felt this before, and it sucks big-time. But, I agree with Debrah, I beleive we choose our own parents, situation pre-birth, according to what we must learn in this lifetime, so either way, everything will work out, don't beat yourself up, parenting is so hard. love, Kristin

Laurie Ginn February 6, 2009 at 4:09 PM Shoot we all damage our children, it's life 101. BUT we are smarter than our parents in that hopefully we can teach them where to get help. I always try to rest in the fact that I did the best I could at that time, even if looking back it doesnt seem so.

Laura Mckenzie February 6, 2009 at 12:39 PM WOW what great flow and rhyming as for hurting your children. I couldn't see a poet in touch with its feelings as you are hurt your children?Such a emotional write! But I do understand! Laura :)

Debbie Guzzi February 6, 2009 at 11:29 AM awwwww forgive yourself. You can only do better! We all are ourown worst judges! Light & LOve Debbie PS each returning soul is said to chose their own parents, so as, to learn certain lessons in each new rebirth

Michael Degenhardt February 6, 2009 at 9:36 AM I cannot believe that you have damaged your children, though as a father I understand thinking that way. Br strong! This write is to the point and clear to all, not just parents. Blessings to you my friend. Michael
