Poem 2
Yes I see the nightmares on their faces
the pain and fear they still carry, crystal clear
the trauma in their weary wept from eyes, time cannot hide
the evidence overwhelming, children have not lied.
That darkened path that they were dragged through
the lies that they were told
all the evil that was forced in and then left for them to hold
within their troubled minds, still it wrecks and roams.
Forced through beyond our childhoods
the cries and groans continue to unfold
adulthood it seeps out, disrupts and overloads.
Souls pathway moans, please let these go, for like this one cannot grow.
Yes I know the troubles in their lives, the things it stole, the havoc that it left behind
I understand the reasons why, I too lived through that struggle and strife.
But lift from all the pain and grief
you are more than what they said and did.
The guilt, the shame, you must erase
the feeling you have no worth in this maze.
Take away all they should never have gave
return them to their rightful grave
not with us can they remain.
The burdens to us have never belonged
carried by us for far too long.
The negativity is theirs, free yourself from their wrongs
ascend to the light, hear Gods ever-loving song.
