In the hollowest of times
I wish not to see truth.
It pains me to know I can't
prevent something from happening.
My heart brings bitter thoughts and,
well they bring the terror I feel.
I would go to hell and back
just so I could avoid this
seize over my soul's emotions.
I know things are meant to be,
but why must pain of evil roots
be apart of this disgusting process?
Are we that vile now we
are tortured from the spirit
inside our shells?
To stand next to others
who are feeling my frustration
of this monstrosity is unbearable.
I know I must endure this,
yet it doesn't mean I must enjoy it.

PROMPT~FROM THE HEART CAME TRUTH
You know when mothers stand by children who do wrong, and they know it, but try hiding it. This kinda reminds me of it.
Hope you enjoyed reading.

Wow.. another so deep poem that explores an interesting subject. To love our own blood when they have done wrong... I can understand the ties that bind.
