Beaten through the years
My heart torn into pieces
My soul chained in darkness
My mind shattered
Lost in the shadows
I've pushed all away
Unable to move
Frozen in place
Afraid to let go
Until I've trusted
To believe in myself
To learn to be me
Not by myself
God has brought
Me some wonderful Angels
Into my life
No longer beaten
No anger holds me
For beauty is all that I see
No longer is my heart torn
It's whole and beating
Filled with laughter
Growing ever stronger
No longer is my soul chained
In darkness
My soul burns bright
It shines through the night
No longer is my mind shattered
It's mending each day
Thoughts of God
Thoughts of Family
Thoughts of Friends
Thoughts of his beauty around me
No longer pushing away
Those around me
For without those in my life
Past and present
I would be lost
Forgive me for my stubbornness
I'm moving
Looking to the future
No longer held in chains
Believing in him
Believing in his Angels
I call you Angels
My Family
My Friends
My Enemies
For without each of you
My tears would be empty
My heart empty
Each and everyone that
Has touched it
Is there forever
