Stresses fracture bonds
My family bends and breaks
I have been here once
What should be, won’t ever be
Because they can not cognize
My jaded heart
seeks the me I want to become
I’ve found inner strength
Thoughts compose a valid plan
as I trod this well known path
Not at their outlay
I will endure my choices
My life will prevail
Propelling promises come
As the good Lord leads me

Author notes
Hum....well...Family does not always have to understand where GOD leads another member. I do believe that regardless we must continue .
In a list
Please tell me what you think

A Grand Message of Undaunting Victory!
Love it, love it, love it! Listen only to the human voice, when that voice encourages listening to the One who made you and is remaking you to His glory. Heed the One that knows what you're especially about. March to that rhythm alone.

Nicely done
the comparisons between limb disorder and family is a unique bid for stardom. One or the other is you, where you may be broke at times, but heal the mind with positive. Lovely insightfulness.

SUPERB!
Great poem Liz!!!!!!!
Your comment hit me like a BRICK. I have been saying those words for YEARS. I DO believe as we are all of God's Grand Plan, it is also absolutely IMPERITIVE each of us approach God as a friend, a devoted personal relationship! As a group- many worship. But NO one has the same relationship!
Stand your ground. I have faith in you- and I am your BROTHER.

Awesome work Liz! It's GOOD to see something new from you!!! I hope that all's well where you are... somehow I believe it is!
Hope to see you writing more in the near future...
This is wonderfully written sweetie... borne from sheer emotion, that shows clearly...
I do agree with your author note... walking with God is an individual thing... even if the individual is in a family...
Love ya!!1 God bless you sweetie!!

It's wonderful to see you back, although this poem carries the weight of a heavy heart and a sense of conflict but the strength of decision. You seem to know where you are going, the poem supports this view.

sad, inspiring, well written
hi, liz, long time no talk! well, i have missed you, girl! i do relate to this poem...being formerly divorced myself. yes, we all have to endure our choices, even if they are hard to make. sometimes, at the time, we don't know if they are the right ones or the wrong ones right away, God reveals that to us later. and with God by our side, whatever the outcome, we always prevail in the end. know you are loved. monica

I love math puns! So good! And the (more serious) bone-breaking/healing image in the beginning is lovely, if painful. The only thing I thought that jarred was the word "cognize" - I dunno, it just sounds out of place (out of tone, if you know what I mean) and too formal.
Thanks for the read! -
Exceptional !!
Wow! This was really an excellent write! I like the way you showed your inner strengh and faith into it! It is truly a well done piece! Thankyou for sharing it! Semperfimom39

To have faith lead us in all that we do is a strong way to find the path that suits you best. Nice write, first I have seen from you and look forward to more.

Thanks for the lovely comment. I appreciate it....this is actually my first poem of the new year....sigh. I have been so busy that I can not find the time to write like I used to....and I miss it very much.
I think that we all need to follow our path....even though others may not always agree....I feel confident that God is leading me and I will not turn back.
Thanks for reading my work.
I will return the favor soon.
LIZ
