Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Acrostic

Twisted To Untwisted

Twisted to Untwisted
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Twisted and confused.
Wanting to understand.
Idealized life view. 
Steadfastly bewildered. 
Twisted and confused. 
Endless unresolved fear. 
Dark shadows hovering. 

Twisted and confused 
Oh, my Lord, please give death!

Under every rock shame-
Nothing good could abound. 
Twisted and confused
Withering fallen soul. 
Idealized view crushed. 
Self-esteem buried whole. 
Twisted and confused. 
Endless self-hate taunted. 
Decided to let God….

Written for Michael Jordan’s contest.
