You can be
in the circle
and still leave
room enough
to get out
A C tries
to be complete
being whole
i am stained
corrupted
scarred
the hurt
the tears
the past left unresolved
it sits
clinging to my soul
becoming a part of me
no one knows
they can't see
the mask is on tight
...but if you x-rayed me
like a metal earring
bitterness shows
black against the white
pain inside the joy
a weed in my garden
(haha...were we supposed to answer in poem??)
an opening
for flow
me out
more of Him in
empty vessel
awaits filling
An earring or a floor plan of a round house or a graphic illustration of a Ventricular Septal Defect ;)
Perhaps: It's always good to keep an open mind! ;)
There's still Time...
The irony of emptiness
A diamond ring but the diamond itself doesn't show up against the white background. :-)
