worn

tattered. bruised. 
mistreated. confused.
knocked down in shame 
with no one to blame 
but self.

missteps turned regrets
wishing i could forget
night and day i repent
memories just won't relent
untamed.

decisions undecided 
trying to hide 
stuck deep inside 
until i confided
where i abided
with Him.

breathing took all of my breath
my pride now battered to death
the end.

the bruises tell the story.
the pain reveals the glory.
my heart repeats i'm sorry.
freedom is now for me.
surrendered. 
worn.
