Broken Trust

I barred my soul to you in everything I said, 

I told you every single though that went through my head. 

Never had I seen a look of disappointment flash through your eyes. 

When pain I was going through, 

You tried with a hug and a few soft words 

to soothe my harsh cries. 


I never thought the day would come 

When you would turn on me. 

When you would take my soul 

and hang it up for everyone to see. 


I asked why you did this 

and you said it's for the best. 

But it was as if you had thrust a knife

straight through my chest. 

Twisting, turning stabbing my heart. 


I thought of all the good time 

memories, that you had slowly taken apart. 

It was though you took comfort

in seeing me bleed. 


You looked me in the eye

And said each hurt in life is one of God's new seeds. 

I nodded my head and said be as it may; 

I never thought I'd have to say

those four painful words. 

I never thought it would be today. 
I never thought things would go this way

When I had to say I can't trust you. 


She just looked at me

and said things can still be the same. 

I shook my head and turned to walk away. 


But the pain is still always there

Twisting, churning, rearing it's ugly head. 

When I remember that day

that my life was changed in such a mean way.

Only to live another day

 She stands alone, off to the side.  Unable to help, wishing she could, she dies.  Pain blinds her as she watches It slip through her grasp.  She wants so much to hold on, but she can't stop It from drifting away. She wishes It wouldn't leave, but It does.  She can still remember the good ol' days when It was by her side, there never to leave.  She can feel It, and this all seems to be a dream, but when she turns, It's gone.  And she cries...she cries for the lost dreams, the lost chances, the lost emotions, the lost friends...The tears flow, turning streams into rivers...but nothing she can do can bring It back.  And she dies...Only to live another day, this time stronger and harder...with each loss the wall grows higher...and it kills her, but she cannot stop the building...It will never return, It never does, and so she must add another brick to shield her from that hurt.  Years down the road she looks back on her life and she sees the wal...

Forgiveness and Fear Ramblings.

 So the question today is "If I don't forgive and move on will I be just like the one who wronged me?" Initially, I would say that is correct, but there is a problem though. I believe this saying, but I find that there are times when I would rather hand on to the anger and bitterness. There are times when I feel the one who is wronged is winning if I just give in and forgive him. I know that's wrong, but it's natural to want the one who hurt you be hurt too right? Thinking about my father, I know I should forgive him, but I  don't know if I want to. How can you forgive someone for the abuse and hate that I have shown every day. I know it's not supposed to be easy, but why does it seem impossible? How can you forgive someone who isn't sorry that they hurt you? Is it possible? I know the theory is wrong, but a part of me feels if I don't forgive him, I am somehow hurting him, when in reality, I am only hurting myself. I don't know. I never claime...

Expectations

  I have gone through some adversity in my life.  Deaths of friend far too young to be taken from the world.  Monumental boughts of future-crushing underachievement.  Shattered young love.  Fights.  Insecurity.  Depression. Rage.  I have experienced all of this and much more.   But I am far from unique in this facet of life.    Everyone has gone through some pretty tough times, in the end I am lucky and privileged to be where I am today.    It’s probably safe to assume that someone say in Africa or other third world countries, probably has gone through way more than I have in my 20 years.    But this is not the point I’m trying to make.  Life throws obstacles in your path.    It always will.    That is the nature of the beast.    Maybe you’ll be riding a high for quite some time, but inevitably hardships will arise.    It doesn’t matter how rich, how famous, how p...
