She turns her back from another slammed door. <br />Another day, another night, <br />Another betrayal. <br />Truth and honesty have not helped her testimony. <br />She stood by her convictions, which were returned with deceptions. <br />She's out of her element. <br />In a 'Me First' world. <br />For 'one' must hide their tears. <br />For 'one' is not human if they have flaws. <br /> <br />She turns her back from another slammed door. <br />Another day, another night, <br />Another betrayal. <br />She tried to decipher human nature. <br />She stood by her convictions, which were returned with deceptions. <br />The clinging, the clawing, selfish demeanor, heartless human disposal, <br />Only wounds the Soul. <br />In a world that lacks self discipline, relishes in self indulgence. <br />She retorts the deceptions, ruled by convictions and continues to give her all.<br /><br />Cathleen Hodgkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/convictions-and-deceptions/
