Goodbye pain,
You've been mine for quite some time.
Holding onto you
Made me feel
My experiences were real.
And it's ok
That you stayed with me so long.
You were part
Of the necessary steps
Along my path to healing.
But now I've moved on
And if I keep you now,
You'll just hold me back.
I can't keep looking
And caressing you
Like a treasured piece of jewelry.
I'm used to you.
I'm not sure what will happen
When I let go.
You are a bit of a war badge
That says,"Look at what I made it through."
But now the Savior stands in front of me
The Savior I've come to know and love.
He says, "I paid for that, will you withhold it now?"
I look down as I hold it in my hand.
It is hard to let go.
But I love my Savior.
He loves me, and the offender.
He paid for and is willing to restore
All that was taken from me.
Will I deny Him this,
So I can stay captivated
By all the wrongs done to me?
No.
I love my Savior, and He loves the offendor.
I hand him the jewelry.
I no longer need to caress and remember.
I feel a freedom and a power.
And now, I am awake.
"Let her sleep for when she wakes, she will move mountains."
And in the case of abuse, it is also wise to wish them well and PROTECT yourself.
For now, goodbye. You are loved.
