A Soul Set Free

a poem — to encourage the hurting

Lift up your face. You, there in the shadows, Head hanging in disgrace.

There is no reason to sit full of fear, to shackle yourself to yesterday’s woes.

There is no reason to feel rooted to guilt and shame no one knows.

No reason to hold yourself back from all things wonderful all things beautiful and freeing.

No reason for you to be in disgrace. You, there in the shadows, Lift up your face.
