Defending Yesterday… written by me :)

I lay down the shield I carried too long,

the polished excuse

My past is not a courtroom needing my voice

it stands as it happened, unaltered, mine.

I know every turn in the dark, every word I spoke

every door I opened, every bridge I burned.

I remember the weight of each choice in my palm

and the moment I let it fall.

I Will not flinch, will not rewrite the lines

what I did, I did.

What I Chose, I Chose

The consequences arrived exactly on time

and I met them with open eye's

Regret visit's sometimes, quiet as night

but I do not chase it away it reminds me I felt, I risked, I was human flawed, fumbled, alive.

Because of every scar and sunrise I walked through alone,

I am here now,

I am me.

From the wreckage and the wonder

this present breath is wide enough for all that I was

and all that I am becoming.

… I’ve never posted something I’ve written and especially something so close to me and I really hope it will touch someone! :)
