Child Bride I was spared when you were sacrificed. A lifetime of suffering but you defied. What you don’t know won’t hurt you but they lied. I was grateful for your confidence when you shared. You were bridaled against your will out of fears. My defiance saved me a lifetime of tears. Your safety and protection were betrayed. By the ones you trusted to obey. Your gift of virginity was preyed upon. Your innocence and purity was strung along. With the promise of eternal life in the great beyond. But experience and life would prove the improbable. When your soul couldn’t deal you contemplated leaving this world But, an Angel was bestowed, to spare your soul. You were later blessed with more angels, to love you loud For every day on this Earth ensures your legacy.
We spend a great deal of time thinking about the changes we want to make in our lives, however, we fail to make those changes for one reason or another. To us, we have logically valid reasons why we don't make those changes. Most of the time we fear the unknown; we don't know what the outcome of our change; we're afraid of letting go of the known for the unknown. So, what do we do instead? We settle for the known, we watch our souls wither, until we don't recognize ourselves.
