Dear Past

Old friend who always pops UP again, I'm finally saying GOODBYE

I'm done with being reminded of things that have no relevance now

You live AND breath only because I let you and I'm ready to choke you OUT

for peace of mind, and common ground, it's time to say FAREWELL.

I've allowed you in my relationships, to dictate MY purpose, and to let you make me feel unwanted

You've taken reign over my dreams, you've hindered me from BLESSINGS and I'm done feeling all WORN out.

I've unblocked every name, letting go of my shame and recognizing that PAIN is GAIN

I've grown up now past, I'm moving on to a better task, and allowing God to run THIS DOMAIN

I need PEACE and I crave JOY because for years this I sought and I finally realized the KEY

Stop looking back, let those from the past stay in the past and stop bringing you back to LIFE

Forget all the lies, forget all the secrets, FORGIVE MYSELF for holding onto you this LONG

Don't look for a FEELING, because FORGIVENESS is not an EMOTION, it is a never ending SACRIFICE

I'm FREEING MYSELF in order to allow GOD to use me the way he's always wanted

FORGIVENESS IS GAIN and holding on is PAIN so today I open the door

I open it to LOVE, to JOY, to PEACE, to IT ALL but most importantly I open it back up to FAITH

I lost hope in feeling O.K again, I lost hope in feeling and knowing that God could handle things.

I allowed self to rule and reign and the whole while God was just WAITING.

Well Lord the wait is OVER

I am consciously putting my FAITH to WORK

Every minute and every second I will lean on you and forgive and forget until My past is no longer found.

Goodbye Past. Hello FUTURE :)
