The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter "A" A symbol of guilt, sin, shame and pain, To, scorn one’s life, in an effort to de-fame. It stands out like a light, in the dark of night, Its’ bright red color give the stars much delight. A representation of what’s good and bad, Conflicted in my thoughts, at times I am sad. Living a life that’s full of illusions, Spinning around in a whirlwind of confusion. Time after time, I question where I stand, I soon realize I must accept God’s given plan. I must confess that life has its ups and downs, But as I move forward I must stand my ground. Life gives us trials and tribulations too, Leaving me wondering what I should do. At times I see what I’m destined to truly be, Like a bird in a cage that wants to be free. My guilty pleasures have bound me to sin, I must look deep inside of me to find peace within. Wait, what’s that I hear in the dark silent night? My precious baby, not far from my sight, A reminder of the good times, and a love so true, My sweet baby girl, I do love you. The Scarlet Letter a symbol of guilt, sin and shame, Was meant to torment me and bring me much pain. But once I was set free I discovered the real me, The “A” represented the person that I was destined to be. Written: 10/26/15
