Decisions
©2009 Syneeda Penland
Sitting here numb
my thoughts are frozen in
time.
Wondering, how did I get
here?
Stop!
Let me rewind.
Retracing my steps,
revisiting each decision
I’ve made,
subsequently sitting here
pondering;
“For a better life, would
I trade?”
The cost of Freedom is priceless
no more conforming to the
norm.
My life is now my own
no longer will they bring
me harm.
To be a prisoner of an
institution
filled with of lies and
deceit,
those wearing the uniform
of top brass
from our pockets they
cheat.
As a proud American
it was an honor to have
served,
defending our country,
“a Free Nation” is what we deserve.
I did not go along - to
get along,
yet I stand behind my
conviction,
which is remaining fully committed
to the LORD,
his word and his powerful intervention!

Yet another thought provoking message in you poem Syneeda. I'm glad that you are now able to share your gift with the world. I'm still looking forward t you sharing "Essence of Black Beauty", that particular one is my favorite, along with your erotic pieces.
