Living life feeling and doing the best I can,
until repressed trauma revealed, realizing that I ran.
Walking in darkness yet living amongst the light,
not knowing where the shame came from has been a fight.
Knowing truths in all of reality that I knew,
living in the light yet my soul so dark grew.
Wondering where the shame came from was my misery.
I did walk in the light but my darkness was a mystery.
Then I prayed for all darkness to be purged into the light,
asking only for truths revealed so painful was my plight.
Standing on the rock as childhood tragedies were being shown,
grieving from the very depths of my core where my life was blown.
Powerless I was to the trauma that was done to me,
so painful, so paralyzing but starting to set me free.
Learning that it was I who had to take responsibility,
to live a life in the truths with all my realities.
Praying while seeking the truths deep within my being,
realities I repressed for survival I was now seeing.
Until I was willing for all darkness into the light to be purged
Tears of painful surrendering truths set me free, with God I merged.
