Dragging Tales-Poetic Stories of...

Queen Pennin

"Ever been so hurt that you want to go to one's mama, 
and ask why she did not beat their butt? 
Somehow. 
You thought the relationship was a lasting forever, 
but it was an artificial, long-term shortcut.  
You didn't even know what was up. 
You were just the Bonnie and Clyde... 
loyal, giving peace, a symbol of good luck. 
What God has joined together, 
let no man put asunder. 
How you let the enemy use you, 
and put the relationship under? 
Sex addiction. Infidelity. 
Lies. Deceit. 
Actions were supposed to be stronger. 
The trust is gone, pain exists. 
You don't want to be in the relationship any longer. 
What happened to getting on your knees? 
Praying to God over miseries. 
Having faith and working into victories. 
Not living your greatest fantasies? 
Please. 
Who's the blame? 
Depends on how you go about it. 
The efforts you put in 
is what you will get out of it. 
Do not doubt it.  
With God, 
all things are possible... 
fight your way around it. 
A relationship that God has put together, 
is a long-term forever. 
You will know when you've found it." -Queen Pennin ("Color Me in the Lines-A Poetry Collection of God's Markers" 2024)
