Progrediendi

Moving forward

Waves of emotion pass over me 

I am still here 

I stand where I am 

unmoved and my footing sure 

I can feel the tears well inside 

I won't sucumb to depression's desires 

I am free of it's hold on my mind 

I will not be controlled by a whim 

I have gone through the fire of a refiner 

I am purged of dross 

I am now a quality finer than before 

when the light shines 

I will reflect that beautiy that was created in me 

I am no longer incomplete

depending on another to fulfill any part of my being 

I have made peace with what is 

picking up the pieces

of my expectations for future happiness 

I am happy for an outcome free of manipulations 

I will leave behind these ruins 

this pile of rubble I fought so hard to keep 

There is no value in living in the past 

there is no value in shaking my fist at the sky 

there is no value in screaming at the wind 

it's time to go forward and recieve the promises given so long ago.
