I’ve had a bit of writing anxiety lately which has caused me to literally avoid looking at my lap top. (Out of sight. Out of mind. Or so I thought.) I’ve found though, that writing is a part of who I am and I really miss it, so…. I have decided to join in on the 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes at http://www.fiveminutefriday.com
Each day in October I’ll write for five minutes on a given prompt. This is mostly an unedited style of writing that I’m sure will challenge this “recovering perfectionist”; but hopefully in a good way! Please pray that I won’t quit, I’ll have fun, and that I’ll learn more about myself, writing, and my relationship with God. I’d love for you to follow along with me on this journey! Better yet, join in!
Time starts now!
The world it seems
Is going wrong.
The weak are bullied
By the strong.
It makes us weary
It’s hard to cope
But through it all
We must have hope.
Do we sit
And wonder why?
Wring our hands,
Let out a sigh?
It’s way too easy
To whine and mope
But through it all
We must have hope.
Time! (Sorry, this rule follower is going to break the five-minute rule and finish)
Pointing fingers
Yelling loud,
Only serves
To anger the crowd.
It may feel impossible,
The end of our rope
But never forget
Jesus Christ is our Hope!
Wonderful. Love it!!
Brilliant, Cindy.
Oh, Thanks Sue!
How can I put this on my page?
I’m glad you took the extra time to finish the poem. Loved it!!! Tears in my eyes.
Thank you so much! I had tears as I wrote it too!
