As Time Progresses

Genie Walker
Old hurts dig deep inside my soul.
Creating jagged edges and gapping wounds.
Where anger festers like mold on spoilt food.
Making me feel hollow and empty.
To the point that I feel I am taking up space.
Space that could be better used.
I'm tired of the shit life brings me daily.
I want to die, soon.

That was my yesterday.
Today, I'm strong.
I know that I'm a precious soul.
Events unfolded in my life, as they should.
Creating the solid person I am today.
Where peace grows like ivy around a column of love.
Fertilized by clumps of forgiveness.
Growing stronger each day I live.

My future looks so rewarding.
So many fascinating people to meet, places to go and things to do.
Knowing that I will be met with kindness.
Because I emit kindness about me like a beacon of light.
All because some time in my past I decided to practice forgiveness.
Not forgiveness for the sake of getting along with others.
But to release that heavy anger deep inside.
And let the light of God within me shine brightly.
