Worthy of Saving I am the well Expelled From deep within From once came sin Now truth exposed In burning light We all unite Opposing forces Once at odds Come together Rising for a cause Rise up, Rise up From the depths Into the light No more to fight For every breath Or the right To live your life For each of us As all are one Are precious gifts Deserving love Security from within We’ll find inside ourselves To face the world Which once betrayed We’ll soon learn Can too be true Providing space To heal with grace In loving arms And warm embrace Of those untouched By deception’s reach We’ll find securely What we seek So rise up, rise up And welcome in The light of love From those who win Untouched by death And darkness they’ve been Let go of your dance with sin |
Additional Notes:
It has been a while since I've written here, or anywhere really. This piece is the product of a process of growth and learning to love myself/ourselves by letting go of the hold the past has had in our lives. Words can not do justice to describe this process - this piece was written about 15 hours following a very cathartic dinner conversation with a friend at which point I had felt so broken and damaged, beyond repair, not worthy of saving. After talking with my art therapist that night, I went to bed feeling drained and depleted. In the morning I prepared to go to a session with my art therapist and as I was driving to the appointment, I began to become aware that I did not feel so depleted, or damaged. During the session, we reviewed an art piece I had done 24 hours earlier and determined that the piece was very expressive of how things were going internally. This poem was the result of looking at that art piece and allowing whatever came to mind to bubble up. My art therapist witnessed our process of writing this during the session and described it as though someone was transcribing morse code. From my perspective it was like hearing a foreign language just writing it automatically. For most of the writing I was not looking at what I was writing, rather at the painting or we had our eyes closed in order to better hear what was being "said" inside.

Strong emotional poem that reads so well and I love the where the inspiration came from for this piece
I was reading along enjoying the passion you've put in to this but IMO at this part of the poem it got a little uneven with flow -
(We’ll find inside ourselves - inside could be removed
To face the world
Which once betrayed
We’ll soon learn
Can too be true
Providing space
To heal with grace
In loving arms
And warm embrace
Of those untouched
By deception’s reach
We’ll find securely
I would go with -
We'll find ourselves
free again
from betrayal
we have faced
providing space
healing with grace
in loving arms
that embrace
those untouched
by deception's reach
we will find security
I was just playing around with your wonderful words -
Very profound poetry that left this reader feeling encouraged -
blessings,
Deni
