What do I see
When I look at my past
Something to carry
Or let go of at last

Do I let life beat me
Or stand on my own
I may be just me
But I am not alone

I share with others
These days gone by
It's time to stop asking
The proverbial "why"

There are things in the past
I just cannot understand
Like the yelling and screaming
Or the slap of a hand

Yet others still touch me
Deep down in my heart
Maybe forgiveness of self
Is a good place to start

I've forgiven many others
And some are still friends
Yet never with myself
Have I made amends

What a sad thind
To look at that past
But look at me now
Forgiven at last

Life is a furnace
Like a piece of a wrought iron we enter it
It is up to us to get consumed in the fire
or emerge as the Excalibur
The choice is ours
flowersI Like your writing keep at it

or emerge as the Excalibur
The choice is ours
flowersI Like your writing keep at it



At one time I chose to be the Lady of the Lake that held the sword hidden where none could see
Now I CHOOSE to let others see that I am rising aboveflowers

mmmmm basking in contentment. The battle within self;the most painful and confusing------YET, the only one truly of any worth.

So very true... It is the hardest battle I fight and I do it daily but I'm finding that I am winning a little more all the time.

I have friends like you to thank for this!flowerforyou
