Living in Despite



Living in Despite

Slowly this poison took my barrier of faith
Unseen hope lit my life with Grace
As new areas brought calming steps to climb
Out of frustration I had fruit of Love with smiles
Ended the darkness of pain
Faced my soul in the mirror to break these chains
Disconnected the wire brought more happiness
With it erased peace and smiles blossom

About this poem

I've recently had a biopsy which is alive. It kinda took me down and God and loving friends reminded me life is here now.
