SURRENDER

Surrender at will,
Will I?
Defiance was my way,
Trials and tribulations I could not face,
Down trot I was letting myself rot,
Forgetting about the force that holds everything together,
That it’s the good fight that matters,
To become one with a better way of life,
A better way to live,
To remember joy as a gift,
And pain as something to build my character if I so choose to move through it,
No longer must I suffer,
No longer must I breathe in the sulfur of troubled minds and misdeeds,
Even my own,
I give myself a break today from the trouble my mind can create,
Break away,
Empowering is the will of my higher power,
To bring forth the higher self I’ve hidden away,
I’ve been lost in the woods,
I’ve seen the paths I must take,
Surrender has cleared the brush,
Time to journey forward,
This is a must,
In surrender I trust.
