I Am the Life That Began in Ruin

I am the life that began in ruin. In tumult and terror, a wounded soul did rise. I am the spirit once cloaked in darkness, bound by trauma, burdened by the most rapturous lies.

I am the wound healed, yet still trembling. Echoes of the abused abuser’s desperate cries linger in my heart. I am the spark that flickers at midnight, the truest vibration, aware of its plight.

I am the tortured, the troubled, transmuting the weight. Where shadows once whispered of fear and of fate, I now sit in peace before that terrible sight. No longer haunted, just holding the light.

The fire consumed me, yet forged me from blame. Where destiny lay captive, bound tight in my shame, my soul bore sadness, heavy and deep. Others' burdens I’d carried; I’d not let them sleep.

Fear no longer binds me, nor clouds what I see. I face myself now, eyes open, soul free. There’s a space I’ve stepped into, that’s quiet and true. A sanctuary within, where I meet me anew.

I now sit in peace before that hallowed sight. No longer hiding, just holding the light. This journey is not just mine; it is a collective experience. We all share the weight of our stories, the burdens of our pasts.

Healing is a process. It requires patience and courage. Each step forward is a testament to our strength. We learn to embrace our shadows, to dance with our fears.

In this sacred space, I invite you to explore your own journey. Allow the darkness to teach you, to guide you. Embrace the lessons hidden within your pain.
