Offering Hope....

Shelia Andrien's book 'Straight Up Hope'

"I'm just a nobody,
trying to tell everybody
about somebody
that can change anybody."


 
Poetry written for Years of Tears

Unsolved murder/ victims point of view

 

Sideswiped by my life path

My colors fade to black

And I’m just left with pieces

And I try to put them back

Into a puzzle that’s a journey

But they never seem to fit

And I just question

Where is the sense in all of it

 

How can I feel all this rage towards someone I have not met?

Its because they’ve stolen light and laughter and dreams that will never be met

 

Yes hate rages inside of me

Yet I was taught to love

I light my eyes and wonder

What is going on above?

And still I believe that God cries too


 

Murderers point of view

 

Sorry will never be enough

For what I’ve done to you

Haunted by my actions

I long for a clearer view

Trapped inside these wall and a prisoner in my mind

I have plenty of time for reflection

I’m just scared what I may find

Worlds changed in a blink of an eye, Rocked beyond belief

I pray that you would forgive me

Though I doubt you ever could

I pray for your forgiveness

Yet I question if you should
