Poem: The Difference Choice Makes

Chink. Chink. Chink.Thud. Thud. Thud.Smash. Smash. Smash.Again and againThe knowledge of my alonenessThe knowledge of myselfThe knowledge of my purposeIs hammered in.I put up walls around my heartDark knowledge tears them down.Bleak, hopeless pain fills my soulI cry a soundless lament.I scream to the LordAsking,“Why me?”Pleading,“How do I bear this pain?”The Lord answers me,“You, becauseContinue reading “Poem: The Difference Choice Makes”
