Notes About The Poem

Transformation

TRANSFORMATION

I have crawled through life on bloody knees
I’ve reached for dreams and failed
My mind was dark, my body broken
By someone else’s nails

I climbed back out of purgatory
And made isolation my home
I learned to stand and think a thought or two
I learned to crawl on faith alone

About my lot in life, I think
That when I recognized my flaws
I ended all my strife it seems
By breaking societies laws

My mind is mending and as I too
Take my place on this beautiful earth
I can say I’ve learned the greatest lessons of life
After witnessing my transformation and rebirth

I’ve no excuses and I have changed the story
You need not know of my past
God gave me the courage to face life without fear
And ride each challenging tiger that comes into my grasp…..

i was born into a life of chaos and destruction....and then met a life of medical abuse and destruction....but,,  I'm still here.  God was with me each step of the way and kept me alive for a reason.  No matter what we go through God will always get us through it.  No storm is too big...and as sorrows come so shall they go....I rebuilt my family and am rebuilding my life.....everything is possible....

walk with love and light :)
