Well, as I promised in the last blog entry, I would explain the name and quote on my blog. As for today, I will explain the quote (for the name may take more time). The quote is from a poem I wrote for one of my classes at college this past spring semester. I had made up that line for the longest time, yet I was not sure what to use it for. Then, the opportunity came up, and I realized I could use that sentence in a poem. The poem itself was an expression of what I had gone through in that year of college, which was a hard year for me. However, those difficulties cannot hold me down. Yes, they will and they still do. I just have to keep reminding myself that I am not bound by those chains unless I want to be.
So, without further words to say, I'll let my poem speak for itself. I hope you all enjoy it, and get some encouragement from it!
“Safe in Being Hurt” :by Grace Vorisek
When I look back at what I was, I see one flesh.
Now, only scars remain, the ones from my old
Self. No matter how much I try to erase them,
They won’t leave, the mere touch being cold.
However, I’m thankful for those scars, that
Reminder of what I was. I can now look at all
Those bruises with joy, because they are my
Memory of the things I have learned to call,
Not my crutch, but my support. They will keep
Me standing up, when I feel like I’ve learned
Nothing, when in fact I have. That is the good
That comes from pain, we come back as sheep
To our Lord, because his home will always last.
In this place, reality takes hold, and I can gladly,
Cry ‘Here is my freedom! The incomprehensible
Feeling of hanging on edge, and falling fast!’
