This poem is dedicated to my sister that has been on
dialysis for 14 years..


Suffocated with frustration,dancing in my dreamless mind,
sorting my faith and hope entirely combined..

Wishing the pain will take me away,
but for the almighty above I will continue and stay..

Take away the heartache--worry free I try--
despite the senselessness of even asking why..

Listening to the silence of my precious soul,
deserted by my surroundings a way to feel cold..

Suffering less cherished,when times are defeated,
only to know my long-full days are repeated..

Evade my infliction for the worth of is cause,
leave me behind--for my life has been paused..

Cause no more damage to my priceless spirit,
and from this day forward I will no longer fear it..
