Welcome the Change

Darkness and loneliness,
 Here in my hell.
   With pain and fear,
 Too great to yell.

   I search for the answers,
 To come to me.
   As I wipe away tears,
 No one will see.

   I pray so sincere,
 With my head raised above.
   Please help me and show me,
 How to love?

   To believe in truth,
 As the story is told.
   Mining for silver,
 Searching for gold.

   I love and miss my youth,
 I want old age to be hassle free.
   I need to find a better way
 To deal with the sickness in me.

   Memories fill me of happy times,
 That I once knew.
   With family, friends and
 The things we would do.

   The darkness and pain,
 Will prevail.
   If I don't get rid of secrets;
 I long to tell.

   In so much pain,
 I'm on my knees.
   In hopes that someone
 Here's my pleas.

   The wound begins to heal,
 But the scar remains.
   No more comfortably numb;
 I welcome the change.

The secret you long to tell..my coworker had to tell me of her rape by her father…it had to come out…healing comes in the light. Whatever the secret, I pray for your healing and the help you can forward to others in their secrets.
