By the Grace of God.. Today I'M a Poet

I was once captivated by the seduction of darkness. Not realizing it would destroy all the I was. My life crumbled at the seams, every area of my life was affected by this insanity that I had allowed myself to participate in. Happiness has been removed, laughter had disappeared, comfort into paranoia and my future didn't exist. Feelings became numb and evil became my friend. Darkness was the company I kept pursuing it day and night believing this was the best that I could do because I couldn't see myself personally becoming anything else. So I accept the fact that I was never getting out of this situation unless it was interrupted by death. Depression came to visit me, then anger joined. They assumed I needed to indulge in deeper thought, action wanted to participate too! She took control and took me on a journey to become an inmate off and on for five years. In the midst of that journey my body was breaking down, my mind was weary and I was willing to pursue new friends. So I searched my inner thoughts and heard about hope. I was willing to be still and allow goodness, grace and mercy to capture me. Darkness disapproved so I introduced her to light, watching her fade slowly until she eventually disappeared. Once captured I was introduced to happiness, laughter, comfort, hope and freedom. God was in the midst of it all in my heart I know it. By the grace of God... Today I'm a poet.
