No
I tend to swallow it whole
and it shatters
like a lightbulb in my throat
the shards drop down to slice my stomach
All I can do is pray for relief
gasping and choking
as I struggle to communicate what happened
the doctor knows it’s only for my mental benefit
to put my thoughts in order
He sees all with X-ray vision
and already has administered the remedy
I found out something very disturbing about loved ones of mine today. I know they are ok now, even if a certain trauma remains unresolved. But the shock and horror wounds me deeply. The effects of sin upon the soul can be so devastating. I was not the abused, and yet I feel so horrible about it. I’m trying to focus on the fact that God is healing my loved ones and that they are really ok right now.
