I understand…

Despair.

The gut wrenching pain of loneliness.

 I’ve know confusion well.

 I’ve been intimate with deep fear.

 Desperate sadness.

I remember the stinging heat of guilt and shame.

I understand.

The sense of doom. Of dread.

I say this to show you that I share through experience with those who turn to me.

That which I realised.

That which is true.

And I say to them ~ to you ~ I understand.

I understand.

Without the darkness I would not be here to share in the way I do with you today.

I am the person I once needed.

And I now share me with you.

To help you remember.

To assist you ‘through’.

🙏🏻
