LOST

LOST

I couldn’t be myself anymore
Not to laugh
Not to cry
Not to share
I had to be hardened
Under the rage of the past.
I had to forget how I felt
I had to forget what I liked and what I needed
To do this in the name of love.

I had to forget
That God loved me just as I was
And that I didn’t have to please anyone but myself and Him who put me here

I plead to come back, to shed the fears and remember mostly that what I feel and need are important, to be tender is OK, not an embarrassment.
I want to be freed!
