Free Yourself

Cleanse your
Bleeding heart
Battered soul
Tired mind

Write it down
Right now
In permanent ink
Scratch the words
Onto the slate
Just one last time

First...,
Read it to me
Slowly
Word by word
Slowly
Line by line
Slowly

Then...,
Read it to yourself
Silently
Read it to yourself again
Out loud
Shout the words
With a full voice

Now...,
Wad or shred
Tear or burn
Fold or bury
Your all consuming sin

It's confessed
Shared with a friend
Revisited by the one
That committed the sin

Forgive yourself
Forgive yourself
Forgive yourself

Write down
Yes..., right now
I am worthy
I am blessed
I am loved
I AM FREE
