Premium Member Heartbreak's Redemption
In the garden, penumbra deep, A heart so heavy, it could not sleep. Betrayed by those He came to save, A love so pure, it could not cave. Upon the cross, His arms spread wide, In our place, crucified. The nails of heartbreak held Him there, A burden of sorrow, too great for us to bear. For every tear, for every sin, He bore...

Premium Member Beautiful is the Beholder
"Good deeds are more important than good looks." The proverb was first recorded by Chaucer in 'The Wife of Bath's Tale' (c. 1387) You saw the beauty past her scars. You looked inside her fragile soul. You cared not for the angry wars. You sought the good the battles stole. You sang with angels through the stars. You set compassion as...

In the world of hurt
In a World of Hurt Everyone would love, everyone would care, If only we could forget our fears. Forget the furrows that divide and scar, And be in union, as one, once more. An injured boy, cradled in his mother's lap, A victim of felony, of shame and of wrath. Injured by the world, with all its might, Left to pick up the...

Premium Member Compassion Fatigue
It is an unfortunate reality, Those most able to tie word and misery - Are most often the least spoken. They are capable of divining the self, Pulling out streams of emotion. - Emotion that is far heavier than simple tears. The words pull at their friends' heartstrings, Puppeteering their empathy, Taking all the warmth that they had too. That's the curse of an...

To those who have been and still feel oppressed, hopeless...
