Unrealized

crouching staring opposition glare
tears stream down
unrealized
i fear nothing but the rage within my bones 
looking at my hands full of blood 
the shackles 
prayers i shout in silence
Spanish and English
falling to my knees all i can do is pray
with my chin up
hands forward

Nice one, Cathy. Thank God that He forgives...and we can start over, cleansed, today. Free from hate, bitterness and anger. Lovingly, Dane Ann
