Pivotal
Life became true to me. For the first time
it has a smell, taste, and touch. The wind blew a graceful stroke of assurance.
Letting me know what was real. I now embrace the uncertainty of myself and my
life. I
see my pain as much more than suffering. I see it as a tool. A tool that has
made a
woman out of me. I no longer allow pain to control me. When in years past all I
could
do was lay down. Lay down and feel sorry for myself. Sit and ponder over how
life had
wronged me. The truth of the matter is that life never wronged me. Life had to
teach
me a lesson. It had to get my attention. Life needed me to see. To see what it
means. What it was really about? Life was about acceptance. I had to see to
accept.
instead of blinding myself of what laid before me. It is pivotal moments like
these
that change you for the better. Pivotal moments bring forth forgiveness of all pain
and
most importantly forgiveness of self. Life taught me to embrace it for better or
worse.
So here I stand through the worse and for the better.
