Today was difficult in many ways
On the mend
I felt the sting of a brother, a wife and a friend
I tried to fight the urge to anger
and tried to show grace
as disappointment, desertion, insults, disrespect I faced
Feeling very alone
I wrote a sincere and heartfelt poem
and just as I went to post it it was accidentally erased
the best thing I have written in a while
I could never duplicate it again
but maybe its best
to know where I stand
I'm just me
I don't seek controversy
or judgment
or disrespect
Some only see of me what they want to see, and it hurt me
To realize that we are not truly ever really free
but I tried my best today to deal in forgiveness, love and honesty
God above is the best judge of me
Because there is much of me that they don't know of or see
I'm following my own beat
and at each crossroads feel the threat of certain heartbreak and defeat
God lifts me from my knees back to my feet
and brings me closer to a destiny I must bravely meet
