Into Ruins

How can I define to you in a rhyme My pain, melodically, nurtured by time How can I make anyone feel what I feel When all I know are lies, how can I make this real Let me bring you down with me As we walk through the fires, tell me what you see Give me 18 years to destroy your worth I'll be in your brain til you regret your birth Let me throw you to the lions blindfolded Stand your ground, see how long you can hold it Let me sully all that surrounds you You'll thank God for the worst you've been through Only when your life hinges on hiding like I hid Will you be capable of knowing pain like I did

As I have stated to another poet, try living 59 years with Cerebral Palsy and have a mind as sharp as what you have now. Feel blessed, love life.

Great poem... certainly reflects some serious dwelling on words to express. Hope sharing has helped.
You ask in your poem "As we walk through the fires tell me what you see"... I see a beautiful spirit that has been profoundly hurt, but not beyond repair... I sense an incredible strength from within.
