This is simply my life
For all its known worth
My brokenness and hurt
What’s done, is done
Life only comes but once
It could’ve been better
I could’ve been much worse
I’m not pleading innocence
Nor am I accepting full guilt
I’ve lived life in blinding dark
On Light’s most outer fringe
Whenever I fall, Oh! I fall hard
Like in love, I freely give myself up
Heart and soul, is all…I really am

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths

“Heart and soul, is all…I really am.”—My favorite line. When it comes right down to it, I think that’s all any of us are. And both are so easily broken.
Wonderful poem. 💕

More than just a relatable line because…Oh! My, so do I! Amazing work, as per usual.
