Reason for our existence

Pain, poverty, sorrow, sin, suffering, rape, abuse, resistance, captivity, insecurity, handicap, all forms of set back

How do we react?

All is blessed who takes, receives, is given and bleeds
With a smile and realization that it is but one mile

Down Comfort

I awoke one day to my own tears
The night before I fell asleep
Unknowing
I dreamt of the abuse, neglect, and an instance of molest
I dreamt of the pain, mental strain, and questionable plain
I dreamt of the distrust, lack of love and hatred
I dreamt of the never-ending bond I gained through these chains
I dreamt of the hardships that would confuse my relationships
I dreamt of the troubles I would have with self worth
I dreamt of the darkness that would consume a part of my life
I dreamt of another life just before the light
I dreamt of the life I live and love

I dreamt I woke free from the yoke
I awoke one day to my own tears
