Revelations!In 2002 I moved into my flat alone, For peace and quiet within my home! Now all through my life I've had to fight, For one thing and another and many a plight! But when I moved in my nerves were fraught! What could I do, would solace be sought? And I opened my eyes to see what I see… Herein is this poem, with what's inside of me! I found that I am tougher than I ever knew, And found out there are many things I can do! Strike out on my own, didn't know how I'd cope, So I left it to God, bestowed on Him my hope! I leant on myself for the healing I needed! Looked to my head, and my own words I heeded! I found that I have the wisdom inside of me, To walk tall and stand proud, and be all I can be! And I found that I'm stronger than I ever knew, For there are many strengths within me true! I fought for survival; it's the name of the game, And kept myself strong when I was going insane! I looked at the picture that was crooked there, Straightened it up, with ease and with care! Now I look to the mirror and what do I see? I see a person so strong, and that person is me! I found that in life, people change and alter, Not always for the best, for we all falter! I looked to my head, looked to my heart, And decided the plan of action was for a new start. And my life isn't all doom and gloom, oh no! More; it's about down what road we choose to go! And the strength within me is all that I need… So I listen to my head, and my heart I heed! I found that people who are only a fair weather friend, Are not worth my time, I have no use for pretend! And I won't suffer fools, not at all because you see! I am better than they thought me to be! And yes, I know things change and alter in life, And that no-one is immune to heartache and strife. The lives we live; are up to us to make good or bad! And that deems the life of happy or sad! I found that my heart is easily bruised and battered, But then I realized that life is really all that mattered! For a broken heart mends, back to restore, And that's when you find you can take so much more! And I realised that I can bear more than I thought! For each time He gave me more, its solace I sought! I tell myself over that I can't take much more! Then God throws more at me, cos He knows the score! For deep down I know that all He gives me to bear, Is because I can bear it, even though it's not fair! So I guess I found out that the God, above, Does look out for me, and showers me with love! Because how else am I here, with this body of mine? Surviving and taking more from Him, the Divine! For the reason I think that I am here this day, Is because of all that God throws my way! To see if I'll fight on, or give up and go under! Purely for weaknesses that will send me asunder! But because I am stronger than I ever knew, That's the reason I'm here, and the reason I'm true! For I found within me, in my head and my heart, I am all that and more, and I made that new start! And when I look back to this past 4 years gone, I smile to myself and say; ‘Catherine, you've won!'
