Holding Myself Captive

In shadows deep, I once was bound, A captive, lost, on haunted ground. The echoes of the past did play, A haunting tune both night and day. But through the darkness, I did find, A strength within, my soul aligned. For trauma's chains, though once so tight, Could not hold back my inner light. In forgiveness, I sought my peace, As the tormented memories would cease. I broke free from the captive past, A journey of healing, meant to last. "Forgiveness is the key to break the chains of the past. In setting others free, we release ourselves from the prison of anger and pain." - Healing with Hilary
