Nocturnal Musings #22: Say Something…

Nocturnal Musings #22: Say Something…

June 20, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 2 comments

I just don’t have the heart right now.

Nothing’s changed.

And maybe that’s the reason.

Say something…

You think you’re fine and then suddenly you’re not.

Again.

Biding my time.

Until what?

Health?

That’s for other people.

A baby?

That’s for other people.

A job?

That’s for other people.

Death?

…

The one thing that’s for every person.

Say something…

The pain is too much.

It will never go away.

I’ve done all I can.

So then what?

Death at my own hand, like too many of my endo sisters?

Another one yesterday.

Say something…

Who says this life isn’t a slow crawl through hell?

But I walk through the valley of the shadow of death with my Savior God, the Lord Jesus.

Christ be all around me.

He’s not finished with me.

I’m in a crucible.

Psalm 12:6

The purification is ongoing.

Daniel 11:35

Say something…

I am.

You’re just not listening.

    I haven’t read such a short, intense poem in a while. Brilliantly articulated.

      Thank you, Sheryl! I just suddenly felt emotive at 4 am. And it’s been almost a week since I posted anything, so I felt compelled to write something and this is what came out. I’m not much into poetry, but I guess sometimes it works out that way. ?
