Fragile

He spoke to me

He spoke to me, and I'm just realizing that he did

As I look in the mirror I no longer see the person who wants to carry on the same weight and baggage of my old self

I no longer want to be held captive of all the burdens that weight on my shoulders

Gone are the days where the pin of sorrows bury me and dragged me to deep dark paths

I will not allow myself to dance with those who are clouded by lust as their eyes are filled with hunger and persuasion

I will not allow them to take parts of me that are meant to be treated with love and gentleness

Therefore I pray to him that he will release me from captivity of people with shallow desires and get rid of the parts of me that crave what is fleeting and vain because those with shallow desires hold no lasting gain for me

I am ready to let go of this voice that held me back and made me think I will never be good enough for all the things I yearn for

I am ready to fall into his arms and listen to his voice and ignore any words that are not from him and are sent to me to grow distant from his love

As I look in the mirror a new reflection and vision emerges

I no longer am kept by the chains of regret and doubt

I succumb and take pride of the whispers of hope as I shed off any worry and fear

I embrace him now because I know that I want to break away from my old self

He has spoken to me and I listened intently he said "A time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;...A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;" those words ringed in me through the depths of my spirit. A call upon me to take in transformation and rebirth

This mirror that I am looking at reveals a stranger yet has such a familiar face

Their eyes sparkle and there lays a smile of liberation

I stared at their eyes mesmerized because I see glimpse of my future

A life of no burdens but just freedom and acceptance signifying a chance to heal again

I say to them "I'm ready to embrace and live up to the hopes and dreams that he has planned for me"

No longer will I remain stagnant and let the weight of my past hold me down

I chose to stand tall and proud and no longer give in to any voice that tell me otherwise

I inhale freedom and exhale out all the things that held me back

I realize that I am no longer scared to confine in him as he will be with me as I to shed off this part of me

He spoke to me and I am realizing that his words led me to fight for my liberation

In the mirror I see a new and familiar version of me unbound and embracing who I am and who I can be

He spoke to me and now all I hear is "It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
