Becoming Freed

You were my rock,

My back stood against you when I was weak..

My arms seek to grab you when I sleep.. 

You were my smile,

Laughs and fun times never seemed to end.. 

Parties and late night vibes until daybreak bends..

You were my heart, 

Oh how seeing your face brightens my day..

Or how your touch makes my panties feel a certain way..

But then something happened,

The monster in you became real.

I stood my ground though..

Because this love, I needed to feel.

You became my tears,

Late night prayers..

On knees I knead.

You became my darkness,

Unable to face the truth..

I harbored all the things you do

You became my pain,

Bloody faces and heart aches 

Words that pierced my soul

Damn, how much can I take?

Deep down I knew I had to leave

Pain was all I knew

Lies you told, could never be true 

Apologies, flowers, and candy..

Lifetime on bended knee begging and pleading

Could never lead me back to you 

I saw the light

I prayed for better

That's when God sent down His angel to me

She had a letter: 

"Break your chains of oppression. Daughter of Eve,

you were crowned the day you were born. Rise up and shine Queen.. no more shall you mourn."

Then it happened.. 

God became my rock,

He showed me all I had to be thankful for

Showed me how to walk out that door.. 

God became my smile,

With an anointed hand He grazed my cheek

I can't remember when I ever felt so free..

And,

God became my heart, 

My faith grew stronger

It was almost impossible to stay unhappy

Any longer..
