The dangers of an untold story…

Embellished

with the

battle scars

of words

that were silenced,

hidden beneath

the watchful eyes

of others criticism,

the fear of becoming

blemished in the eyes

of the accusers,

previously kept

the story untold.

Instead of cursing the darkness…

She uncovered the secrets

that haunted her in the

middle of the night,

those undisclosed images

that had been safely tucked away

in the remote areas of her mind.

Instead of cursing the darkness…

she bravely faced the heaviness,

that laid dormant around the

very core of her being.

Instead of cursing the darkness…

she stood up to the lies,

that attempted to strip her

of her garments of truth.

Instead of cursing the darkness…

she denounced its permission

to define her worth.

Instead of cursing the darkness…

she lit a match,

and watched the

darkness flee.

(Let light shine out of darkness.

2 Cor.4:6)

Emerge…to rise from.

Shatter the glass of any

negative in your past,

remove the burden carried

upon your back.

Cut the rope from

around your neck

that’s attempting to

choke your reality.

Stand with Hope & Truth,

to face all trials with dignity.

Breathe deep the fragrance

of Sweet Victory.

Stand up and know

exactly who you are,

Lift your head my Sister

and no longer look down.

For a Virtuous Woman is

Emerging from within.

Beauty defined…

Her outward

appearance

does not define

her worth,

for she has

the ability to

see beneath

the surface to

the foundation

of her inner

strength.

She draws

wisdom,

from this

place within,

deciphering

truth from lies,

trading insecurities

for her crown

of beauty,

and upholding

hope over defeat.

Awaken yourself…

Fear kept

me bound

to circumstances

that stripped

me of my

self-worth.

Awareness,

of the need

to change

my perspective,

opened up

my ability

to love

myself.

Belief in

who He is,

bought my

freedom.
