The Bitter Road to Reality

F O R G O T T E N

The pain was so traumatizing, so devastating that in order to survive I had to forget everything, everyone.

I fought so hard to forget the pain and emptiness that I ended up forgetting about you

You were a daily reminder of what I could've been.

I thought I was leaving you behind and ended up leaving myself behind

You were my refugee in the storm, my savior,

The only one who could truly save me, yet I pushed you to the side like a dirty rag.

I built a dome of stone and barricaded myself inside,

Thought I was protecting myself instead I hurt us.

Chains were wrapped around my hands to stop from reaching out to you,

I tried to run but the shackles around my ankles kept me in the place I called home,

By now it felt too late to go back, why would He ever want someone who forgot Him.

Never knew true love until you took me back in

I still remember how you took me in your arms

Embraced me with your love, surrounded me with peace & joy,

You forgot my sins just like I had once forgotten you

Yet you brought back the joy that was once stolen from me.

Like a child, you picked me up and took me and offered what no one could,

You gave me everything, yet I threw it all away.

Now we're back to square one

Looking back now, it was all worth it, even when it broke me into a million pieces;

I had to lose everything to realize it's worth.
