Coming from the darkness
I stand up straight
enabling my soul to breathe
I have been covered in remorse
far to long
Shoes of regret
taking me down roads
that injured my spirit
Turning the lens until my eyes
are focused on my next journey
Releasing past indiscretions
to honor the new awakenings
Cloaked in the heaviness of fear
Fighting to find a way out slowly
so the light of reality doesn’t blind me,
reinforcing my doubts
Reaching out from the catacombs
Of denial
finding the shroud of love that
will embrace my being
I rise from the ashes of yesterday
Lifting me to hear the whispers
of my beloved
Kissing my wounds with his tears
Calming my stress with his words
I release myself into his wants and desires
Knowing I am safe
Knowing I am loved
He has the answers to my questions
In a list
Please tell me what you think

This is a great write about a decision finally being made. I'm happy that you're moving towards something positive now. I wish you ALL the best of everything. Live your life to the fullest!!!
*note to the one who asked "who"*
It aint me

Who is "He"
Other than that I think it's beautiful. I love the image of a person standing up to let their soul breathe. Not slouching, not lying on the ground. Standing.
Remorse. Regret. Fear. Denial. Things we must cast off.
Each stanza a different aspect of your condition, your journey.
All in all, you've articulated what my soul has been saying all along -
Great.
