For
decades,
I faced
rage,
head on,
face to face,

We made
eye contact,
I stared evil
in the face,
evil went
insane

Emotionally
exhausted
from facing
evil in the eye
,no shade ,

evil shadow
made me
cry out
in praise

        For decades
I was trapped
in a closet,
I became a
stranger
in my own skin

        For decades
I began to
forget about
who I was,I
lost my
inner fear,
I became
vulnerable,

weakling
with cheer,
heartless,
I fought back
with rage

      For decades
evil destroyed
my wrath,
I pointed fingers,
I blamed ,
until one-day
reality struck,

for a quick
second I lost
insight on
what was
most important
, forgiveness,
revenge ,
God promises

For decades
I put it in
God's hands,
I prayed,
I overcame
