Liberated; a poem

Intimidated
Underestimated
Slowly degraded
Mostly frustrated.

Hidden potential undiscovered

slope
Too steep to dig in heels
Too many wrong steps
No t h i n g to hold on to

FLAILING

DROWNING

GOING UNDER

almost gone


A sliver of light
Pierces the darkness
and rests upon
your face.

A hand
o u t s t r e t c h e d
waits patiently.

Grasping it;
a realization.

Sufficient strength
only comes with
humility
submission
responsibility
faith
and willingness to accept the strength He offers.
