You did not create beautiful things in me;
After burning what is left to ash
I am transforming what has become of me
Through visions born of trauma.
Beauty and strength.
Experience and forgiveness,
Patience and love.
Rebirth and
Recreation.

The bravest thing i ever did
Was to
Return home and
Confront
My fear and pain.
Oh the nightmares. The anxiety and dizziness
From holding my breath all this time.
I believed I had left it there in darkened places
(That fear)
But truly
I had been carrying it;
Wearing it.
I placed forgiveness
There;
Home.
And in return
Was immersed in love.
And I felt lighter and I flew higher than ever before.
On to living a fuller life.
On to letting go of more of this and that I have picked up along the way.
The power was mine all along.
The power is mine.
I used to run and hide when people hurt me.
I gave away my power without a second thought.
I used to give them my tears and time.
I am learning to turn around
Gently.
To forgive and honor the soul of each heart and mind.
To give more tears and time
To joy.
To see beauty in both dreams and reality.
I am learning they too are afraid,
They just show it in a different way.
As long as you hold on to
Anger
You
Are shackled to
The
Past.
Forgiveness gives you life
In the
Present
And freedom
To move into
The
Future.
Allow room for nothing else
But
Love to
Become
All that you
Carry.
I shed a tear today.
For all the years
I lived
And
Loved
In fear.
And I forgave myself for the mistakes
I made.
For the feelings I kept
Trapped
In
My
Throat.
For the times I gave too much
Of
Me.
I allowed myself,
To
Love
Me
For every little moment
That I had traded bits of my soul
To
Keep
The
Peace.
Truth be told,
I
Shed
More than
A
Tear.
What does hanging on to
Hate and anger serve?
Only the darkness.
Only the destruction of self.
The weight of the darkness will only
Burden you
And keep you suspended
In continual unrest.
It will trap you.
Hate and anger only serve themselves
And will find extreme satisfaction
In your
Perpetual
Inner mayhem.
Walk in love, compassion and forgiveness.
It is the only way to move forward.
I choose
Love and forgiveness
Over
Self destruction.
I will no longer
Compromise my
Soul to
Your
Madness.
