My Life

Life is so vast
Too many details to remember
But in one flash
I am able to see it all

I see my family
My sweet parents
Cheering me on in my best times
My beautiful sisters
Holding me through my worst nights
My brother 
Making me laugh until I cried

I see my friends 
There with me through each phase
Reminding me of how beautiful life can be 
If you just let go

I see the man who broke me
The night he made me feel so worthless
And the many nights that followed
Leading to my self destruction

When this image is shown 
I desperately want to look away
But thank God I didn't
For the next chapter
Will always be my favorite

Hiding beneath the shadows 
I see the man who saved me
Finding my broken pieces scattered on the floor
He picked me up
Piece by piece 
And restored me once again

For as my flashback ends
I see myself in a new light
A strong, beautiful woman
Who has learned that even the darkest
Most painful nights
Can turn into some of the brightest
Most beautiful
Triumphant mornings
