Rising From the Ashes.

I'm sitting here in this room these four walls are closing in. All i do is sit and think about the things that might have been. What could I've done, what should I've done to change the ending to this story? what could i do, what i should do so this pain does not destroy? i fall. I pray. I beg forgiveness. I stand. I rise. I feel God's presence. I'm cleansed. I'm free. I am a new creation. All these feelings rising inside, love, trust, happiness, pure elation. The old me burns away, the new me rises out. Each and every step ordained by God Himself without a doubt. He made me in His image of this I'm sure, and I make a declaration today, with a heart that's true and pure. To do God's will and praise His name in everything I do, and because of His love I will never be the same, nor would I want to. To continue on the path that i was following would be foolish and unwise, so here i go one foot in front of the other, and from these ashes I will rise.
