It's never hard to trail one's pain into a self created prison,
and it's always hard to break yourself to be renewed at peace.

Forgiveness cannot be sought, hate crawls and claws this skin.
The next craze is forever; the next life is beyond this life of sin.

And I would not sacrifice my pain, my hate, my feel; - not ever.
I would rather not be numbed, even when I am to bleed.

But I will, in every grace, full of heart, sacrifice myself;
all that I am and life... to foresee my next awakening.

Nice read Connel...sounds like you went "into the darkness in search of the light"...

It is in your power ... to awaken NOW.

Your approach holds hope. I enjoyed your ponderings. It is a fine write.

Welcome back!

Love,
