Resilient Inspired Spiritual Excellence R.I.S.E.

The spiritual scars were in my dreams

I wore them like a garment

The memories were hard to escape

I was tired of basking in all of the hurt

My mind seemed fixated on the past

I was tired of reliving the offenses

I began to want more than the past I relived

I saw a better life for myself

God said it’s time to let go and heal

I fought the past

It kept wanting a hold on me

I tried to run from it, but I was caught in its net

I knew one day I would leave the past behind

Slowly I let the burdens go one by one

It has been a long process

So much growth has come, but yet so much more needed

God is my source

I still remember because it can’t be erased

I am no longer caught by every net

I can dream again

It still hurts sometimes

I’m letting go and writing my masterpiece.

I can’t go back but I change how the story ends

Healing
