Drain The ***** Water First

By Risa Ruse

I celebrated my victory over persecution.
I did this by sharing my story of resolution.

I retorted my discovery.
It was related to work done to my gutters in recovery.

When on the latter burling a hole in the gutter the water kept pouring out.
I could not finish my goal of making a spout.

I realized that I needed to stop drilling the hole.
The matter needed time to drain the ***** water to complete my goal.

Like the gutters needing to drain--
So did my brain.

I had to get rid of all the old hurts.
Otherwise my heart was sure to burst!

Now the ***** water was all let out.
I give thanks for the new spout.

Not only that, but my life has taken a turn-about.
I throw up my hands in praise and give a shout!
