[hometext] => This one is about my little sister with whom without, I would not be living today. I love her and I can only imagine what she has been forced to endure...
[bodytext] => Something inside me has been stirred. Something is not right. I can’t find my reason, And faith is losing sight. Life has taught me through many struggles. Has forced me to endure pain, From standing from afar and knowing Nothing I do can stop the rain. These tears that fall, So violently from her eyes, While all I can do, Is hear her silent cries. How can someone do that to her! What was the excuse! To RAPE my sister! And her have to take the abuse! This continues for two years, And how did no one know? It took so long, For her pain to finally show. And the pain in me, As there was nothing I could do. Hearing about it through friends, Only imagining what she is going through. States separate us by distance, But in my heart she stays near. She is my purpose and reason, For my life here. But she is my little sister! And when she needed me, I failed. Why could I not find a way to help? She must feel I have bailed. I never wished to leave her side, Life just got in the way. And the guilt inside me, Is buried deep and plans to stay. All my life I try and try To be the most that I can be, But as some point I never am enough. And failure is all I see. This is not my battle, But it still hurts like hell. I want to be better, But in the end I just yell. “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, TO HURT HER IN YOUR SELFISH GREED? I HOPE YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED, SEWED YOUR SELFISH DEED! HOW CAN YOU THINK TO HURT HER, WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE? WHAT ARE YOUR REASONS, TO OKAY THIS ABUSE?!!!!!” Broken pieces left scattered, All across the floor, More than what anyone Could possibly ignore. As hard as it is to forgive him, To go beyond what I feel, I have forgiven him not for him, But so I myself can heal. The truth is no secret, And in my sister she holds it in. Afraid to talk and remember, As if it lets him win. She cannot heal until she forgives, But how do you forgive such a pain? It rips you to pieces, And drives you insane.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
