Solitary Confinement

We are gathered here today in this moment in time to pause , breath , THANK GOD for life & choosing to KEEP us when so many have been taken away .

Why am I still here ? Sometimes I wonder with so many brushes with death I feel like life is a blunder . I feel like there’s so much more that must be done . The battle is never truly won .

My heart has been broken far too many times . It was my silent tears that were ignored . It was my begging for my life that was immediately frowned upon .

It saddens me to say that everyone prefers a beautiful lie . The truth is such a painful reality to bear .

But I much rather release an ugly truth than be burdened with a beautiful lie .

It was in my silence that I was stepped on . Laughed at . But now everyone wants to play victim .

Misery loves company . I much rather drown in my own misery than allow a figment of my imagination to play in my face & then cry wolf .
