Crucify me do

I have done my share of falling down
I have battled through the rough,
found the strength within
through belief in the path I took.

I have felt the kiss of betrayal
I have turned the other cheek,
only to have the other side kissed
with lies and deceit.

I have laid bare and naked
garments removed against will,
but still I stood with head held up
I have no shame in mans sin.

I have worn the crown of mockery
being whipped by some for who I am,
watched whilst others defied me
oh the shame of cowardly man.

As I sit here upon my mountain
do to me now your very worst,
and forgive for i do know what I do
when I lift my eyes and you I curse.

Still, I lay myself in your mercy,
with outstretched arms as if but instead I cry,
be it as angel or as person
let thy will be done..let me fly.

About this poem:
This poem is about parking the cross for a while to dream a little, before flight.... either that or its about being tired of one's luck.

When it comes to bravery aren't we all, having said that, bravery and being strong are not always such a good thing .... depending of course.

For you dear man bouquet

Ms. Witch, two things. First tge poem is so well written, i read it over and over again.
Second, what I gather is that life is full of burdens and sorrows, not only from our makings but others as well. The strength we need to survive all these tests and challenges are sometimes depleted and leave us spent and tired. But. Here's the best part, you're very strong. You're very formidable. You might take the beatings but not for long. You are tge epitome of a fighter. A very good fighter.

Stay tgat way. You're an inspiration to the down trodden. I'm so learning from you dear Ms. Witch.

I'll mail you about your daughter's situation.

Keep standing str.
teddybear hug
