I have been broken down and beaten up
I have picked up my broken pieces with Band-Aid covered fingers
I have been destroyed bruised and bloody from love and life
I have allowed anger and sadness to control me
I have looked in the mirror not knowing the person staring back
I have drowned in my own tears swimming out while fighting the sharks of my fears
I have crawled through a multitude of fires with burn marks on my knees
My bones have been squeezed and crush until there was nothing left but black soulless dust
I have laid in a hospital bed dead but still alive
I have been suffocated by my own thoughts
But still i can breathe! Still i am alive!
There are no more Band-Aids placed on my skin my wounds have healed
I have found the sunlight which connects love and life
Anger and sadness no longer restrain me because I have found a best friend in the mirror
I have taken swimming lessons and now I float with dolphins
My knees are strong they show no sign of the burning memories
I have taken the cast off my bones and I have realized I am actually filled with bright red fairy dust
I now lay in rose petal beds
I run free through all life's hurdles like wild horses
I shine bright like the night stars
You may remember me when I was hollow, bare, empty
But i have re-wombed and re-birthed myself
I am filled to capacity with God's love
I'm sorry if you don't know me now
