Reconciliation and Acceptance

I lost myself in boredom

Lost myself in the bitter and sour patches of life

Ripping myself free from the death grip of the vines that hold me down

I can see the sun shining through the leaves and thorns that cover my eyes

My sad, torn aching flesh screams out as the rain softly falls on it

Stinging the gaping open wounds as I search for reconciliation

As I slowly stumble back into my reality

Rediscovering my inspiration, surprise and happiness

I have come to my crossroads once again

Not looking back, I proceed on my path of hope

Living like I am dying and regretting nothing I have done

I may be scarred from my battles but that does not mean I have lost my virtue
