The Wright Answer
The Correct Wright Answer

Oh, if I could only change incidents past
Hurtful memories from my mind I’d rid
A curse, from teen years, on me was cast
A curse unwanted, on which I did not bid
With this painful thing I continually wallow
Knowing we’ll be twins until I’m laid a grave
It’s impossible to change, accept, or swallow
Often, my thoughts have become its slave
I’ve petitioned the Lord to grant me relief
That I, through Him, might soon be at rest
It hasn’t happened, not because of unbelief
And though I’m tormented, God, knows best
