Free

Free from the one in the mirror who only new sorrow and the life that had no desire to see tomorrow. Free from cringing at the sound of my own name and the chaos within almost drove me insane. Free from the evil that danced in my head. and from praying to God to leave me for dead. Free from thinking I’m the only one to blame and from the one, who only felt shame. Free from wishing I had been, not the daughter, but the son. and feeling like the unwanted one. Free from being outside and only looking in and from a heart that was always caving in. Free from ridicule endured from humanity and Believing I can’t control my sanity. Free from drowning in life’s undertow and thinking my dreams don’t deserve to grow. Free, like others, to enjoy all of life’s wealth Finally... Because the Lord, Jesus Christ, told me to forgive myself.
