The Greatest Find

How tormented the child
who's blinded to see
a true reflection
of their unlimited capacity

To achieve to the highest
all they could reach
not to continually hear
the damage others teach

To look outside the bars
of fearful confinement
and soar towards
their own accepting realignment

To find peace inside
for honest esteem to rise
realise their stunted potential
is built on abuser's lies

To break the belief
of voices within
who continually punish
for a did not do sin

To finally see hope
unchain the true mind
break from the victim's cocoon
and achieve their 'greatest find'

'Love of themselves!'

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
