Trampled,Mangled & Milked

By Rhonda Frye

Dear Jesus,

You say I can come to you 

just as I am 

and tell you just how I feel- 

the good, bad and ugly…

Ok- here it goes…

 I feel trampled, 

               mangled 

                         and milked…

 My heart feels trampled- 

      like a stampede of people 

                     walking on my heart.

Some —

 not realizing it’s there. 

Feels like one more step— 

One more step will do me in 

To stop my heart for good.

Mind?

mangled —

Mangled emotions, 

voices and memories,

live wires jumbled,

criss-cross!  

A time-bomb, 

one more wrong move 

it’s all gonna blow,

Spirit,

circumstances,

hopes and dreams milked dry,

a drop yet left, 

one more squeeze 

And  my spirit will deflate 

                              ……and wither.

Funny,

think about how a soul may feel

like a coconut— 

                      buried, 

                                 ……but still in-tact 

A hard shell binding it

                              Blinding it….

So,

 here I am…

          right or wrong… 

               real or imagined…

                                    exaggerated- 

none the less- 

          trampled, 

                    mangled 

                                  and milked…

In desperation mind…

       He said to me

             “if your heart stops, 

                         your mind blows 

                                 and spirit withers, 

                            I Am

               Resurrection and Life

                  Do you believe?”
