I won’t hide; my soul has been crushed before..
I won’t deny; my soul has given up before..
It’s been lifted too..
I have hated before
I have forgiven too..
I have loved!
I have been loved too..
I have been weak
I have been strong too..
I have hidden my face before
I have stood up too..
I have cried
I have laughed too..
I have faded
I have bloomed too..
Been wounded
Been helped to heal too
Been pushed
Been embraced too..
Been rejected
Been accepted too..
I have lost battles
I have won battles too..
I have lived
Through pieces of me!

Thank you dear 💕
Good job capturing the seasons of life! ❤
Thank you sis
Wow the juxtaposition of actions and feelings really connected with me because there’s so much to us than the outside and you show this so powerfully. Beautiful poem 🙂
Thank-you so much Jess. It’s always humbling when someone connects with the message I am trying to get accross. Thank you over and over my dear 💞
It is a pleasure to read something so profound and beautiful, thank you for sharing! ❤
It’s an honor my dear ❤
Nicely written, Susan. It is such a mixed bag we have of qualities as imperfect humans. . .
Yes ma’am. We are blessed that through Christ we are made perfect. It brings me to tears everytime I think of how broken I am in my sin but more so the fact that Christ could take all of it upon Himself because he loves me/us. Very nice meeting you 💞
I love the back and forth in this. It’s a call to look at every situation, part of us, and feeling that feels dark and negative and shine light into it. Very well written.
Thank-you friend 💞.
Awww! The heart on its reflective journey. Well done
Thank-you my friend.
You’re welcome 🙂
This is a beautiful testament to a life lived in full, bruises and all. So good to have met you.
Thank-you. So good to meet you too my friend.💞
To everything there is a season… It is a peaceful thing to acknowledge that we are a little bit of it all. God bless you!
Thank you and God bless you too my friend
