Bring Us Home

A poem by Anna | 6/28/2008

We’re born into sin
Everyone's wicked
But we think nothing’s wrong
We don’t know we’re

We may feel that we’re

We don’t let ourselves know we’re
Empty
without having been filled

The emptiness grows
And we try to avoid it
We fill ourselves up with all the wrong things

Despair and Deliverance

A poem by James | 5/31/2008

Halls drip all around me, halls wrought out of stone
Etched so from a mountain of malice and hate;

Hell’s fire reached my home, for my heart, so to tear.
Eternally, cruel – nay! My soul cannot say!
Recalling what happened is too hard to bear.
