her story
trapped inside a cage of denial
burried under a lifetime of guilt and shame
she had been there all along
reporting her take in morse code, telling me what she needed
trying in vain all of these years to show me a path
sometimes her screams were so loud they would stop me in my tracks
i met her for the first time several years ago
a very wonderful friend introduced us
this friend awakened her in ways she had always been ashamed
all He could do to try and free her was at times never enough
He tried and tried to unleash her, free her of the guilt that weighed her
of the uncertainty that confused
and the shame that society had layed upon her
but she was too afraid
with His love and guidance she was coaxed into the moonlight
it was soo beautiful and serene
it was tragic, that this girl was buried for so long
she enveloped everything around her
and she was PROUD of herself for once
but the friend who once told her not to fear
could stay no more
He had to go
He could no longer hold her hand
but He would love her ever more
and guide her the best He could from afar
she shattered into a million peices
and buried herself again, swearing never to come out .
she lay dormant, just below the surface
aching to come out into the moonlight once more
waiting for a new friend to guide her
He has finally arrived!!
she has been set free
and shed her former shell.
she has found Him
or rather He has found her
finally where she belongs
unafraid unashamed
proud to sit at His feet
finally she has found her place
this girl is me
this place is mine
He knows who He is
