Showered In Victory
I hope to be forgiven-
for I was not myself
but
I have surmounted;
exceedingly healed
from the wounds
my mind wears
(a gift to myself)
I faced hell head on,
saw sights I wish
were unseen,
with chestnut eyes
glaring into depth
freeing myself from…
the ache of craving
redemption
I outpaced my foes-
speed knows no
bounds when it
comes to regret;
transcending into
pebbled tides I am
at ease,
lost at shore no more
I’m sorry
worry not about me
and
accept my apology-
a mistake made,
forgiven through
empathy,
and
showered in victory
