The Chamber
I have come out of the fog
Penetrating this filthy haze that taints my innocence
No longer a victim of my past
But rather a survivor, fearlessly exploring my future
Releasing myself from these chains of self-hatred
Shedding the shame that has coated my soul
For too many years
Stepping out of this chamber of horrors
In which my mind has been a prisoner to
For so long
Lifting off my shoulders the burdens
Of anger and resentment
I have been carrying for this beast
Knowing that though I can never forget
I must forgive him of the evils
Forced upon my flesh
Rather than weak and dependent
I continue to grow resilient and strong
Utilizing challenges of the past
As tools to cope with
The struggles that lie ahead
It is now I let go of the victim inside me
Drinking in the freedom from a past
That will no longer bind me
