Array ( [sid] => 34074 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Epiphany [time] => 2004-02-06 09:55:37 [hometext] => Epiphany – A spiritual event in which the essence of a given object appears to the subject, as in a sudden flash of recognition [bodytext] => Forgiveness or no?
It’s a touchy subject
Can it be let go?
Whatever your conflict

With trauma at an early age
You don’t grow as you should
You may be stuck at some stage
Never seeing yourself as good

Conflict seen through a child’s eye
Is frightening at best
No matter how hard you try
You can’t seem to find rest

If you know that you’re trapped
Calm yourself and look about
Within yourself you’re wrapped
You need to find your way out

Give the child a break
The one trapped within
For your sanity’s sake
Forgive your sin

A child doesn’t react
As an adult should
Recognize that fact
Release the guilt of childhood

With the release
You’ll find some rest
The cycle will surcease
The shame you’ll no longer wrest

When you read this
Look at it closely
I hope the truth you’ll not miss
Experience the epiphany

I feel like I struggle with this all the time; trying to move beyond some of the painful experiences of my childhood. But it gets better! And it is poems like these that remind us to keep our heads held high and hope for the future.
Thank you!
Jennifer

Awesome poem dude or dudette. Hope it all works out. Childhood can suck. Good thing we all grow up sometime.
