I spoke the darkness

Peeling back my hidden secrets
being transparent about my life
the unspoken pain I have carried
that I tried to hide from God…
 
I spoke the Darkness, my pain,
to wick it of its power,
I give it willingly to others
because I know I am not alone…
 
I don’t want to be chained any longer
I know that I have eternal life
God saved me for a purpose
He does not want me stuck in pain…
 
I am sharing as I am called to
I know others are hurting too
I pray they too will speak their darkness
to wick it of power over their lives…
 
Peeling back each hidden secret
being transparent with my life
each unspoken pain spoken freely,
brought into the Light of God…
