Needing To Turn Another Page

Conclusion of past regrets full of rage Last scene closing on the finale stage Oblique entries into a malevolent cage Secretive questions why were we engaged Egressions of needing to turn another page Optimism for a novel and fresh new life Painful memories almost being your wife Exposed lies that free me from your strife Nourished new future free from negative rife
There it was...the door slammed shut leaving past conclusions out for garbage. I am the one who realized the authenticity of our broken alliance. I needed you. You never needed me. I was your mess you had to clean up on a daily basis. You pretend you're benevolent. I pretend I am happy. I have sorrow. I have regret..I have misery. Surprisingly, the angels sang and the iniquity of my essence awoke my internal bliss.There it was...the door slammed open leading my longing soul to fill with growth and hope.There is a certain harmony that leads the cloudy skies into peaceful insight. My aspiration and confidence have turned my anguish into the anticipation of healing. Now, my expectations have been crowding around my insecurity, releasing acceptance that my murkiness has transformed into vivacious exhilaration. I have hope. I have joy. I have gratitude. ~Date Written: March 22, 2016~ ~For the contest, when a door opens, sponsor, Broken Wings~

Doors never seem to feature clearly upon the map of our lives, as we never really know when one will appear as open nor when one will close...wherein we learn our individual lessons. You have presented the contrast nicely here. J.
