The Arms of My Father
I’d had been tired of it all, I’d been weary many times, I
had been scared and I wouldn’t ask God for his companionship through these
troubles.
This train was going too fast and that’s exactly how my life
was going; too fast and surely to bounce off some wall.
People had lied to me which is to be expected, human is a
gift and a curse and we all own it.
People didn’t understand my accomplishments therefore
breaking bread with me brought on disgust. I was human and would be nothing else,
but now I was hoping that I could ask god for the chance to be able,cus he
cannot do for me.
He can show me how.
God is NOT a Genie.
I wanted people to know I am just me and while I want the
world to have peace the most, only a solid prayer will just have to do.
I bore two children and they were beautiful and the world
wouldn’t treat them kind but I was raising them to do better than the next
person, don’t act in anger because it will only hurt them.
All of my friends knew that the loved me despite my ways, I loved
them back and more than anything I wanted them to address me as an equal, not
quarrel behind my back for my indiscretions and judge.
While I was no perfection the people existing in this life
around me were the same, looking for the next way out of struggle.
Not one knee hit the ground to beg mercy, show god they had
need and a big want for relief, some people saw themselves too good for such a
task, when while simple, pride was stronger than their love.
Lust was and sometimes is my best calling. I live in those
slippery moments for the temporary comfort they bring and I repeat them until I
tire of myself. I usually can’t find the love I want and need therefore I keep
on looking. The number stamped in the underside of my arm is the sign of the
many, I hope this one was the last; the only man I told was God.
That finally, I am giving up on that tragic journey.
The rails were sparking. My eyes were fearful and everyone
seated and scared were unsure what would be next.....we were living in a superman
moment, thinking if we held on tight enough we'd make it through the crash
surely to come.....no such luck, as all the bodies flew, we all realized
through this none of us would come through. I opened my heart while I flew into
the arms of my father God.
The End
