Bartender, “Life” on the rocks, with a twist of fate.
Hurt has two paths to follow,
“In” or “Out” of you.
Depending on its origin,
the how, the when, the who.
Can’t always see it coming,
by mistake or from a sin.
“Blindsided” is a sucker punch
when landed on the chin.
After years of living
I say the worst of all,
is when it comes from family,
to my knees it makes me crawl.
How can they treat me this like this?
To say to go away.
Love has left my families hearts,
my presence brings dismay.
When was the last time
you watched a grown man cry?
Come stand before me now today,
my heart just wants to die.
Never in my wildest dreams
I thought life would be so cruel.
Alone I stand in pools of tears
forced fed a bowl of gruel.
Life has a way of saying,
“This is a great impasse”
Blind faith is all I trust in,
a belief “This to shall pass.”

~The Great Impasse~
Ron,
Nothing but the finest comes from thy quill!
I relate to this write. Family hurts are the ones that do bring you to your knees. At least on our knees we can say our prayers and get up to finish the fight. There is right and there is wrong...I aim for the right.
Have a wonderful 4th of July.
Warm regards,
Kathy

Kathy,
You are very kind with your words and I thank you. I hit my knees every day now to ask for help in the morning and give thanks at night. Things have worked out for the best lately and I owe most in part to my Higher Power. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Always
Ron

I like this emotional write,
I think I like the clever title even more. But I became curious after reading your reply about when you wrote this, have you always wrote a lot or did your writings or poetry, begin when you went through this? Your post always seem to be full of wisdom, the kind I have when a friend needs advice, the kind I seem to lack, when it comes to myself. I am glad to hear you have moved on, I can only imagine how tough this period in your life was, take care-Lee
Hey Lee,
I started writing about five years ago well before my divorce. I only started sharing my writes with others about 2 1/2 years ago with this being one of them. I am glad you gain insight from my comments and replies. I have a close group of friends that have helped me out in many many ways. I get my strength from them and wisdom from listening and learning to others. I smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others :) Thank you Lee for reading and commenting

Why O Why
How could you start so well, and ends with trusting in a blind faith?
There is nothnig like a blind faith.... Even if faith is the substance of what we hope for...
We You need to have a believe in all you do... Faith is not blindfolded, it is real.
Life you should know is a challenge. And alsway remember that adversity is for your victory. No apin, no gain like i is said. Take life he way it comes and please never you cry for life.... life most alway fulfil it calling...
It takes pain to overcome life many challenges. See you at the top!

Hello Nsikak
First I'd like to welcome you to the showcase.
Faith is a very strong part of my life. I have faith in people,in nature and in my Higher Power. When I refer to " blind faith" I am talking about the assurred expectation of things to come though not yet beheld. Think of it as sitting in your house and you hear the front door bell ring. It is blind faith that you know that with out a doubt someone is at your front door. You see the trees bend and you know without a doubt it is the unseen force "wind" that is doing it. Faith is "real" but certainly blind. Thank you for reading and commenting

Families
can be so kind yet so cruel...they know all your buttons and can press them to help or hurt you-it's crazy when you think about it. Such a well-written write Ron, I'm sorry you had to go through something like this, but you write it all brilliantly, if that's any consolation :D ♥

You are such a sweet and honest girl, I truly thank you for saying this :) .... Yes family can certainly cut the deepest. My Aunt taught me that in order for cuts and bruises to heal I would have to stop picking at them. They might scar over but they eventually heal. So my life has gone, I have healed, scarred and tattered a bit but healed. Life goes on. Thanks for reading and commenting
