Internally Bleeding-Kathryn Lyons

Just read a tragic story about a little girl with cancer,

Brutally made fun of, no cure, and no answers.

See, the little girl started to lose all her hair,

And not a single person in her life even cared.

It seemed as if God wasn't there.

But Jesus told me this saying before:

"Without suffering, there would be no compassion."

I was too young to understand when he told me.

But after reading this story this quote came forth.

But God how do you choose the one's that suffer?

The one's who go to war?

Or that little girl neglected by her dad that grows up to be a whore?

How could you possibly choose, the one's that must lose?

Their loved ones, like my dad with his son.

Or my friend's dad when his head met at his gun.

I ask you every day God, why me? Why me!

And he replies, Katie I know you're the one that needs the strength,

and don't forget that your brother Michael still watches every move that you do,

every thought that you think.

Every night when your dad picks up that drink.

You have two angels, but one of them is still on earth with you,

So why did I choose you?

Because I could see you were internally bleeding.

Believing you couldn't succeed, couldn't achieve,

the thoughts in your dreams.

We saved you from dying in that seizure.

And you are just as good, if not, better than the ones who precede ya.

That little girl with cancer died.

The mother was cold as stone,

She couldn't even cry.

The father was so heartbroken all he could do at the time was sigh,

Until he picked up a needle and started to get high.

Those parents are internally bleeding right now.

Bleeding viciously like the ink from your pen when you write.

So don't you ever give up the fight.

No one said I was choosing the lives that are worth losing.

I do what is right, he told me, and that's life.
