Beyond the Shame

A voice, a vision, a spark, a flame now its time to look beyond the blame I've opened the door and faith stepped in Finally I'm ready for my life to begin Not how it was or how I thought it should be But with my past and my future merged authentically Beyond the silence, the shame, the fear I've grown through the pain that has brought me here I'm learning to live with both laughter and tears, an to trust myself as well as my peers learning to feel, to love, to guide I know I'm a little damaged and now have no reason to hide although I still strugle daily to survive, I'm finally glad to be alive.
