(By Shea L. Watts)
How do I tell myself
Your fun and loving spirit is gone,
Your body held hostage
By a deceptive toxin?
Consumed by the wickedness
Of white poison,
It feeds you lies,
Fake happiness,
That fills your heart with darkness.
How can I accept this
Journey you have chosen,
Away from many honest faces
Of love and acceptance?
How do I stop the hurt of losing you?
How do I tell myself
Your light is lost
To a false reality of existence
Pulling you toward a pit of sorrow?
I fear detainment is looming,
I fear dissolution is near,
But I cannot change this.
I have no power over God’s plan.
I can only continue to stay faithful,
Strong and true.
Only through love and prayer
Can I find peace,
Through hope I seek to find
The light from which
Wickedness has taken you.
I must remind myself
Reality is hard and dismal,
While darkness is accepted.
The poison you consume
Must be demolished!
Only then will your light renew.
