What Happened Here ?

Finally, the options are revealed
The appeal is second to none 
Tantalized by various speech patterns 
Shocking, awful, and mistaken 
Chills travel down the spine 
Afraid of what's to come 
At the behest of one's empathy 
Words cut through obvious defenses 
Crying to no one's delight 
The weakness can no longer be withheld 
Shaking uncontrollably, violating the hollow ground 
Confidence is shattered into a million shards of dissonance 
Never to be heard from again

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
