God help me endure
Holly Flame Maxey 1976 (baltimore)
True progress is slow
Torturous to the soul, body & mind
Yet, holds promise for a better tomorrow
For a better future
I pray every day for the strength
To withstand this pressure
I thought the old man died
But apparently, he still has a hold on me
I need to let him go, before I can be free
I need to let him go, before I becomes, “US”
As much as I am pained by this
Mental arrangement with the old man
He has owned me for so long
I am not sure I know how
To let Go
About this poem
Life may be hard...but death is harder... we should all be patient the end is worth the pain
