LIFE’S POISON ARROWS

Life’s poison arrows shoot me to the ground.

All my dreams come crashing down,

I’ve been accused convicted and condemned

Friends and fans are nowhere to be found.

As they were the judge, and the jury all in one

Now the trial is over,

A new journey has begun.

I’ve been found guilty,

without a chance to speak
,
the sentence must begin my life is incomplete.

Alone, I must face the end.

All I’m guilty of is loving those who planned my revenge

This is my repayment, considered breached.

God where are you? Can’t you rescue me in just one leap?

I’m humbled, as cold sand became my bed,

and rock my pillow instead.

My tears run relentlessly

My eyes were dehydrated occasionally.

Tears running from a single eye

Everything else became so dry.

I’m I not to worry or wonder?

Is this their way of telling me it’s over

when all I am guilty of is loving what I do, and all of you.

Even loving the things, I shouldn’t and couldn’t do.

Is there a heart to consider an appeal,

Lord you know exactly how I feel.

Is this your way of punishing me too?

I can hear his small still voice saying “no my child, I’m only protecting you.”

But I don’t understand,

he said, “trust my heart, when you can’t see my hand.”

Even though the storm is battling my mind,

I felt a sense of relief as those words were so profound and kind.

I thought I was the victim, but instead I am the victor.

God was only molding my character. Rose
