Dawn & Dusk

That was a dark place
I suddenly realise
My mind was numbed out
And my eyes were blind

It’s like waking from a nightmare
That has been going on for years
Realising it is not raining
That the streaming waters are your tears

It’s like looking at a mirror
At a different version of you
Like your mind is just realising
All those events were true

It is crushing to realise
How much you truly suffered
How much you buried inside
In the darkness, covered

But as I step out
Into the light
I thank the old me
For not giving up the fight

For shouldering pains
He could not comprehend
Continuing on a journey
Which seemed without end

Now all this pain
Is a wonderful gift to me
To finally know the trauma
From which God has set me free
