I see Now

I see now...

it was never me.

My anger hiding in the closet,

absorbing the abuse,

the distrust,

the silence…

The constant reminder,

I was not good enough.

My patience wore thin,

through all those silent years.

Churning like lava,

in its chamber below,

just waiting for the day—

I’d finally breathe again.

Not for vengeance,

not for pain—

but the strength to stand again.

I’ll walk away,

with confidence and grace,

the fire in my veins!

I see now!

It was never me that broke apart!

I’m standing tall, with an open heart!

No more chains, no shattered soul!

I see now!

The fire cleansed what fear controlled!

From the ashes, I unfold—

Reborn, unafraid, and whole!

Afraid of looking in the mirror,

it was always you, not me.

I’ll pray for you through all your pain,

may you one day see the same.

I forgive you—

for the scars that shaped my name.

Thank you for the lessons learned,

the flames that forged my change!

“I’m free!”

“I’m stronger inside!”

I see now!

All the darkness fades to light!

My peace is loud, my soul’s in flight!

I’m not afraid, I’m not controlled—

I see now… and I’ve let go!

No anger left,

just my peace...

I see now.
