WHY?!

Contributed by BrownEyez on Thursday, 3rd February 2005 @ 02:59:40 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



I lye in bed eyes open staring at the ceiling thinking…thinking
WHY?!
Mother divorced dad at the age of eight a scary sight waking up in the middle of the night,
To arguing peeping around the corner yelling cussing
WHY?!
Moved away another country another place not home crying missing dad so sad got a new home now minus 1 now
WHY?!
Got to make new friends learn new things mom found a new man
And there’s silence, no yelling or cussing, happiness upon us
Great made new friends got to new best friend but wait, moms goes and does it again
WHY?!
Third time marries move back to the states to Vegas with sum of the family,
City of lights gambling and action doing it all over again, new home new friends new life when will this stuff end, now keeping secrets from moms
WHY?!
Got to let her know need to let it go, tell a friend some months later end up in child haven a weekend from home now they all know
WHY?!
Moms believes now gets a clue to kick that him out, divorces over child molestation somewhat relieved of the pain I was living
WHY?!
Moving again same location different place, time for new changes more friends made with bad situations, began smoking an' drinking
WHY?!
I needed to change after heart surgery and seeing my pops again, made a new friend fell in love with him three years later married him, moving again so very happy
WHY?!
Starting a new beginning making better choices leaving the old life of drugs drinking and lying so called titled friends better defined, arrogant, ignorant peoples
WHY?!, WHY?!
Did I go through so much pain?
WHY?!
Maybe to teach me to respect, to respect myself
Growing up with low self-esteem doing to fit in or look good,
Now I’m just living and growing less worrying enjoying life as is
WHY?!
My answer is
GOD
He's teaching me new things and working His mysterious ways.

Your words are simple, honest, straight from the heart-
Glad to have read this.

Indeed, God's ways are high above ours.
And though we can't make sense of the things that happen to us sometimes, but He's always in control.
Anyone can hold on, when things are all fine,
but real faith works even in the dark.

This was wonderful. You need to work on your spelling, but this pulled me in and kept me riveted. Oh, and the ending was a wonderful surprise. That is exactly what I have learned about God, only it took me a lot longer. What a wonderful testimonial.

I don't have a lot of patience..so I couldn't get through it all..it was too long for me.. but I'm on a lot of meds..it's probably not your poetry..what I did manage I liked..I wish it was broken down..maybe into three parts or something.. but I'll come back later where I left off..
