Strength

Unsure , ripentive? 
Times are getting harder, searching 
for ridemtion. 
Hunted by the past no where to run 
except stand firm and face your fear.
The closer it comes the scareder you 
are. Having thoughts of bailing but 
what good has that brought you this 
far. 
And just as your fear is about to take 
a hold of you a light shines brighter 
then you've ever seen. The light 
comes from inside you. When you 
look up fear is wearing its on 
reflection. Iv never seen such fear 
before. 
Standing there I wandered what had 
happened. I suddenly felt a heavy 
weight come off my shoulders and 
when I look up again its my mom 
looking at me with a wide smile and 
tears in her eyes. 
I understood there and then that im 
forgiven not only by other's, but I 
was finally able to forgive myself.
