Second Annual Reason For The Ribbons Day

  Today was my second annual Reason for the Ribbons Day. Because I believe writing out the full, detailed story behind RfR would most likely do more harm than good, I will simply give this poem.

Ribbons, ribbons

Hide these fresh scars

Heal my heart and take this pain far

 

Far away from a tender mind

Conceal my fears and watch me die

Hold my hand while I wish for peace

Create this illusion of happiness

 

Ribbons, ribbons

You let me down

What you couldn't hide was seen, was found.

 

Ribbons, ribbons

Now remind me

Of everything I've done

What I've survived--where I've gone wrong

 

Seal my fate in the gates of Heaven

Ribbons, in remembrance of

The Hell they pulled me through.

  Will you celebrate this day with me? May I always worship God, who has preserved me though I have been unfaithful.
