Learning To Step Into The Light

Please

Bear with me

As I am

A stranger

To positive attention.

Having spent

Too years

As the object

Of hate and ridicule.

Where

My internal voice

Has become

A source of self-doubt

Questioning every move

I will or have taken.

Cutting

Ever so deep

Into my soul

With relentless energy

After every misstep

Upon my journey.

Until

Questioning everyone's

Actions and motives

Becomes automatic

Like breathing.

Something

I need and want

To break.

If true healing

The type

That lasts a lifetime

And not a flash

In the pan.

Has a chance

To set down roots

And flourish

In my soul.
