The raw, the real, the emotions involved
can overtake the soul, the spirit, the life.
When choosing to step into the light,
the light of realness, truth, reality as it is,
one can only guess as to how the journey will go.
To shed the plaque of hate, of hurt, of pain
that has built itself into a shield of fire and lies.
To shed the disease of sadness, of fear, of doubt
that has overtaken the soul in such a brutal way.
Rebuilding from the dust of defeat, of abuse
that no child should ever have to endure.
There are no guarantees, no certains, but
there is the truth of rebuilding, restarting;
at least trying to refashion oneself, to be
the body, the mind, and the soul you were meant to be.
