one pivotal moment

one pivotal moment
given power in secret
shame etched on my spirit
seared in my consciousness,
changing who I am…
 
only a few minutes
but changing my life completely,
no longer able to love
to be happy in my spirit,
changing who I am…
 
an identity shaped in silence
in secret far too long
those few minutes given power
my days given to Satan
changing who I am…
 
only now reclaiming myself,
what was lost and broken, taken,
being open and transparent about my pain,
turning to our Father’s love,
changing who I am…
