Self Resurrection
I healed from my past
Looking back I can now laugh
Never paying revenge to tame my ego
The debts I paid were illegal
Hands on my body that made me cry
My story, I was taught to deny
So low, the ground was above me
No one cared to dig me free
I found a tool to dig my way out
Pen in my pocket I began to shout
As I began to scribe on my tomb
The seals began to break as if I were in a womb
The sun began to shine with each word I wrote
Freedom came the more of the truth I didn't sugar coat
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Free at last as a hand was gave
As I looked back at my grave
Who is this that helped lift me out
She looked like me without a doubt
It was me, that had risen myself from despair
Time to tell my story with no time to spare
No longer embarrassed, with my head held high
No more tears as my daughters drew nigh
I have a story to tell you, one in her teens one knee high
They both would know before my family could deny
My story was told from beginning to end
They would never suffer from those past sins
My grave taught me to fight and not just for me
I would save others not just my family
