prisoner of doubt
held fast by only
imaginary shackles of fear
find your focus
shine your light
make all shadows
a memory
in your rebirth of
tenderness
and truth

Beautifull...
This write of yours is so true and wonderfully written... We make our own shackles that holds us back, we just have to learn to shake them and throw them away...
Lots of

Indeed we must overcome the shackles of the past, and move on. The only way we can focus and deliver ourselves from the hell we created is to put it in the hands of God. Then, and only then, allow the Spirit to soar through you and cleanse the burdens that hold you back from achieving what you need to.
Great piece.
Love it and love you

Powerful write and I liked the third line the best. It seemed metaphorical, like how the things that keep people back in life may only be in their minds and if they only believed in themselves, they might be able to realize how much they could accomplish in life. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.

lovely encouraging words. Let go of fear, let it fade away in the shadows, face the light.
