Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Truth Will Prevail

*This is my own issue, just needing to vent, nothing more:

I have had enough of the lies and games
Unfairness that plagues some people’s minds
With no regard for others, even if cheating is involved
Conscience blown away with the wind
No leaves on the trees standing stark all around
Bare souls left to face the consequence of others
Bark peeling like layers of confidence, broken down
Tainting people’s dreams in the corners of minds
Hope fades because souls are born with sensitivity
We are human and respect is necessary to maintain unity
Life is not a game to play, creativity is not a move to make
Power is not the answer, but truth and justice will prevail!
