 Reclaiming my Spirit!

 

Have  I not learnt ?,

to stand up everytime I fall,

Crawl when I can´t walk,

learn to walk again and again,

at my own pace,

my own race,

the spirit of a broken child,

playful, joyful,forgetful,

quick to forgive the unforgivable,

it is with a heavy heart,

that one learns to let go,

to keep on the go,

why forgive they may say?,

my story, maybe another´s healing I say,

so let us gather,

share, let it out,

break the broken silence,

haven´t others moved on?,

with or without justice?,

so I pick up the pen,

and reclaim my spirit back!.
