Saved By Grace From Drowning (~cinquain chain~)
Drowning
In the abyss
Of my own darkened soul
And tortured by the terrible
Memory
Memory
Of an attack
Brutally delivered
That took my power and my strength
Away
Away
Went the woman
I was sure I had been once
Now taken away because of
His need
His need
For power and lust
His selfish need to take
What was inside me by raping
My soul
My soul
Though shattered
And dissected by his
Need to fulfill his hunger for
Power
Power
However is still mine
Because I will not give
Him the satisfaction he needs
To have
To have
My sanity back
Is what I will pray for
Because I have the love of God
In me
In me
He lives and breathes
And I will not give in
To these thoughts and feelings pulling
My soul
My soul
Cries out to you
My heavenly father
Intercede and give me that which
I need
I need
To have my soul
And the strength and power
You gave to all of your children
By grace
By grace
I can be saved
By grace I can be healed
By God's Grace I am no longer
