Transformation

 

She battles herself as if she is her own nemesis.

She builds her own inner strength through crisis.

 

Her mistakes have not always been her own fault.

Her psyche has been under many years of assault.

 

She found her strength in lines she didn’t cross.

She has learned to censor her words at all costs.

 

Her words flow and touch others as if satirical.

She views animals and children as God’s miracle.

 

Her stance was so strong but somehow she fell.

She thought her strength was strong in her shell.

 

Her weakness was revealed as she fell facedown.

She no longer wants to be the talk of the town.

 

Her love for her Jesus dwells within her heart.

She has a chance now to make her new start.

I know this woman; I've been this woman; and a part of me still is. Always remember that you are the summation of everything you have been through and everywhere you have been. You need NOT punish yourself for past transgressions etc. You need simply take the lessons learned and build from them. Insanity is making the same mistake over and over and expecting a different result; as is stupidity.
Clearly you are neither one.
You have seen more than your fair share and been through more than your fair share. I know that feeling. Mother Teressa took it as a compliment; that God must have a high opinion of her to place such burdens on her. It is difficult at times; but I see you emerging and seeing this as a possibility.
Do not hide in your shell or censor your words at ALL costs. You have a story to share. A story of pain yes. But a story of strength as well and sharing it can give strength to others who are struggling.

Thank you for sharing and please continue to share

Namaste and blessings

our own strength is not enough sometimes.. Sometimes we actually have to reach out and lean on someone, who better than Jesus. He is our strength. We must stand, and He will fight all the battles...

We as women, have a lot of strength, for ourselves, for our children.. for love.
but remember this Word,

"The battle is mine, says the Lord of hosts"

Write on baby!

good job

"She battles herself as if she is her own nemesis"... a very strong first line. This is very good. As I read this for the third time, I could hear it being belted out... it has a lyrical touch to it. The words stand quite well on their own, but I think you have the ingredients for a powerful tune of some sort. Very well written.

It seems that so many of us have to finally hit rock bottom, before we can truly start back on the higher road

jkb.

A powerful story of true metamorphosis! Well written and captivating, drawing us into the heart and soul of one seeking desperately for real life. (I was suicidal for ten years, and God gave me new life.) Excellent!

I really like this Jenn. A beautifully presented description of the struggle to change ending in success.
Well written.

We learn by trial and error as we pursue our course through life.No point in dwelling on past mistakes Just be yourself and carry on

I like this piece. We all know someone like this. I have always pitied "the talk of the town" woman. Great job

Wow, good one. A lot of others came into my mind, me included, but also others who struggled with certain illnesses and were "the talk of the town" everybodoy had an opinion to give, saying "crazy" as if it cemented them to the ground.


Her love for her Jesus dwells within her heart.

She has a chance now to make her new start.


Amen Sister. That's what I needed!
