What Goes Around

Today I look back in the darkness I once called my life All the tears and hurting, all the pain and strife. All the screaming and the yelling blocking up my ears All the crap they put me through for oh so many years. I begged and pleaded with my eyes for you to save my soul But all you did was walk away into your little hole. I looked so happy outside, but inside was crumbling down You took my pleadings as a joke as if I were a clown! My mind was spinning ‘round and ‘round as darkness was closing in And all you did was sit there as if that were not a sin! As I lay emotionally drained with no strength left inside All you did was walk away in your room to hide! And as I lay there on the floor with blood running down my face The horrible feeling hit me that I’ll never get out of this place! Then there came a day that would forever change my life I didn’t realize then that no longer I’d have to fight. Today I stand so tall and proud without the pain and strife And I look at you and that big mess that you call your life. You think this is bad just wait and see what’s up around the bend You’re hurting now but start praying because this is not the end. Yes God forgives and is merciful but what you did to me God will punish in His due time just you wait and see.

Sometimes we hurt and put the fault on others but we could have...should have left...we could have taken the action instead of being acted upon. Light, Love & Hope

Love this poem! I truly do. You should read my "One Final Day" and tell me whose is sadder. I think it is yours though.

Thank you for your bravery, Andria in posting this write about abuse ... hopefully, rather than punishment this person will receive help for their violence and God's Love will change their heart so that they never have to hurt anyone else. Excellent selection to be featured this week at the Soup!! Congratulations!

Catchy title it pulled me right in. I love it. The Bible verse in Galatians 6:7-9 fits perfectly with this poem. God bless you. Thanks for writing this one. Congrats on being featured this week. This is a well deserved honor. Have a blessed holiday season.
