And I Am

vulnerable & helpless
weak & powerless
defenseless & exposed
open to attack

and i am..

flagarant & blatant
barefaced & overt
brazen & brash
audacious & outrageous
undisguised & unconcealed
transparent & immodest
indecorous & unabashed
unashamed & unblushing
unrepentant & unforgiving

and i am..

bold & brave
courageous & intrepid
valiant & valorous
gallant & plucky
heroic & daring
audacious & indomitable
doughty & unafraid
undaunted & unflinching
lionhearted

and i am..

unnamed & unidentified
anonymous & incognito
unspecified & unsourced
unknown & unsung
uncelebrated & uncredited
unacknowledged

but most of all i am..

finally free

free of captivity
free of interrogation
free of misery

and i am..

free of all the things
you put me through

and i am..

assured
the quickest path to heaven
was straight through hell

Sometimes we have to see the bottom before the top can be revealed, you may have been put through the wringer but look at where it leads you now. Blessings,Carl, ps I wrote a poem called The Beautiful Illuminated Blackness that describes this very thing
