New Path I Take

I stopped lying to myself,

No longer looking for an escape.

I've already been forgiven,

Now I'm giving myself a break.

Telling myself truth,

Setting myself free.

Decisions I have made,

Weren't always for me.

Nothing to prove to anyone,

Just simply to my God.

Protecting myself from others,

I refuse to live a facade.

I've been falsely accused,

Suffered my share of pain.

Even accept some choices,

Brought down heavier rain.

The universal principle,

We reap what we sow.

The debt will continue,

Until we let those know.

All the secrets I carried,

Must speak to make amends.

I am the bigger person,

Choosing to learn and bend.

Life as an overcomer,

A child of the most high.

Making my Daddy proud,

I'm not afraid to cry.

I released my situation,

Including past mistakes.

My tears show repentance,

On this new path I take.

Treat Yourself Right

Mistakes done and gone,

Tangled in our past.

Shame prevents movement,

No where going fast.

Repeating before,

Doing it again.

An obvious point,

This is not a friend.

See the advantage,

Think sharp like a knife.

Paying our debt,

Earning lease on life.

Healing a process,

Still mending to do.

Scars all left behind,

We will do this too.

Take stolen years,

Focus who you are.

Forgive just move on,

We came way too far.

Trust in the present,

Keep hope in your sight.

Time gives permission,

Just treat yourself right!

Our elders are to be respected,

They hold stories of our past.

Lessons learned and survived,

Evidence that we can out last.

All desired a better life,

Expecting brighter tomorrows.

We should show them the respect,

For their misery especially sorrows.

Life could have been worse,

Our elders led the way.

This generation should be grateful,

We ought to thank them everyday.

Choosing to live with dignity,

Making decisions that are right.

The key of continuing,

All our elders had in sight.

Daily struggles were opportunities,

A risk for them to pray.

Based on their overcoming,

We have a chance today.
