Broken Rainbows

this was written during a time of self discovery

I have always enjoyed looking at rainbows

The colors were so pretty

I drifted to another time

Another place

where beauty was measured in colors

other than black and white

I would still question

Do these bright colors deceive me?

Is it ok to believe?

Ahhh yes!

 To Believe gives us all hope

 

What would we do without that glimmer of hope?

I have been there

On the other side of the rainbow

Where tears beat would down on me

It was like a rainfall so powerful

I feared drowning each and every day

Now I am learning to feel hope

I told myself that pain was all I would ever have

My wrists were bleeding and bound

I was so afraid to be unshackled

To feel a sense of vulnerability

This was way to risky

So I went on walking the same path

I knew my footprints

I followed this footprints

I was so broken

I believed there was no hope

I was hopeless

I had the same conversation

with the same terrified little girl

I heard the same words

every single day

Living without hope

consumed every fiber of my soul

I yearned for a pain free walk

I asked God to lead me

I asked Him to walk beside me

I was a begger

I wanted to be loved

I wanted to be accepted

I walked around in circles

I was trapped

I wanted to be free

I worked so hard

not to feel

Being Numb

Protection at last

I was holding myself in this muddy turmoil

I was terrified to believe

to work just as hard to feel

Fear paralyzed me

I am no longer a victim of my past pain

I am here smiling at the rainbow that arches over me

A pot of gold brings that glimmer of hope

I walk on a different path now

I am working on positive thinking

and my days do not seem as dark

I try not to look back

If I do I say thank you

I walk standing tall

I have learned so much

most importantly I learned how to believe

fully with my whole heart
