Braver Days

I'll see myself as a warrior reborn Bolder than starlight gleaming overhead An enlightened trail when betrayal’s sped By washing away a hurt past once lost Like a birthing of inner courage shown; As shadows of angst turn to grit, atoned Before time's painful wounds are spread. Where belief and esteem together ring Alive with my need for justice, restored To change honor wronged, as love's lies sting And heal nights from deceit... never again! Rebuilding trust by self-care well explored As lessons claim braver days, my reward For a wholeness this spirit finds glowing. Nayda Ivette Negron's Contest Change My Past

I like the idea portrayed here that getting one's power back holds the key to an enlightened life. Your poetry is liberating! Thanks for catching my work, Nette
