Release [poem]
My first poem I've published on my blog...?! Kinda scary because one, this is super personal and two, I don't write poems that much. But from what I've been learning from just simply being more open on like Instagram about my insecurities, it encourages a lot of people. Not because of ME but because of the One who lives in me. HE is the One that is transforming my brokenness into a woman made whole, despite what she's gone through and the messes she's made. So yeah. Here's to me being brave and bold lol and God doing great things through it. I'm just His instrument. I don't really want attention or comments; I just want Him to be glorified and for someone to be lifted by my story, which is ultimately HIS Story. Anyways, I hope you'll be able to relate in one way or another and be comforted in knowing that you are indeed not alone in whatever you are going through. Here's Release.
Pain
Rain
Regret washes over me
Run
Hide
Lock
Cry
Despair washes over me
Heave
Hard
Overwhelm
Knocked to knees
Kneel down
Cry
Plead
Stop
Please
Where is the end?
When will the pain leave?
How will this heal?
When will this fear flee?
Try to get up
Fall down again
Try to speak up
Shut down once again
Key in lock
Sob
Protest
Assurance—
Safe
Cry of relief
Get back up
Stand
Breathe
Rain
Falls down my face
The heaves continue
Continue their pace
No turning back
Stay
Release
In
Out
Breathe that air
In
Out
Heaves cease
In
Out
Despair tumbling
In
Out
Rain from my eyes sting
Roll
Down
It will be all right
Deep
Breath
Real embrace
Smile a little
Comfort
Erase
Let it flow
Down
Out
Let it go
Time
Out
Finally heard
Time
Slows
Finally free
Time to cry
Finally safe
Time to be held
It’s time to breathe
It’s time to release
Hold on to hope
Hold on to love
His promises
Are forever enough
This time is hard
The past is rough
But by God’s grace
He is enough
Truth will set
Set you free
But when,
I wonder,
Will it set me free?
Healing will come
God promises that
On earth or in heaven
One day
It will last
But
For now
In this world of pain
Look to His promise
And be released from the rain
Pain
Rain
Peace washes over me
Cling to hope
Releaseー
Please breathe
It will be okay
Just wait
You’ll see
The past is no more
You are here
The rain is no more
Joy is near
