![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us the past is searchable it is searchable and unlockable the darkness doesn't have to remain dark shine a light on it you'll be surprised how it makes you feel unlocking the past shining the light of truth on it it may have an odor according to how dark the dark really is but the light of truth and the winds of your supreme desire to speak to what has haunted you, lo, these many years I am no longer afraid of you what is done is done I am a better person now it is then the light becomes brighter it is then the odor fades away it is then you can begin life unafraid you have conquered your darkness ©August 4, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I speak from experience here, Margherita. I fought inner demons from my past far longer than I needed to. Like I said in the poem, one day I realized that I was a better person now than I was then, and forgave myself because I was a better person. I have been happier ever since without that darkness hovering over me. Thank you for being here this morning. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

You have indeed overcome your darkness, JP, and probably have helped others along the way. Smiles, Ms. E |

Yes, Ms. E, I have definitely overcome my darkness, and if I have helped anyone overcome theirs that is a good thing. Thank you for being here. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Fear is the key. Living in fear is not really living. Wise words my friend! Lori ![]() |
