Wisdom

Seven years old, abusively violated! Only useless refuse left after The extraction of my innocence Live prey, left an empty shell! Ten years old, Mixed with a blend of conflicting entities Existing entirely as an irregular frail unit Not speaking for fear of spasmodic hesitation Fourteen years old, Uncontrolled, self destructive, total hatred of self! Frequent thoughts of suicide, gun in mouth, deeply absorbed Engrossed even, yet can’t bring myself to surpass moral bounds Fifteen years old, Life changing event! Pregnant! Devastated! Abandoned! Afraid! Alone! Except for the baby girl growing inside of me Nineteen years old, Repetition of the previous age None the wiser yet, But slowly receiving the understanding Of the need to repent! Immediately discovering the hope Finally embracing the power and Experiencing the Grace of the Lord Who said that through “Him” - ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
