Once I wore a veil, to hide my shame,
I told the spirit of breath, ‘love’ hurts too deeply,
I carry burdens that was unseen: and I wish love would hurry,
And set me free, love was too unkind to every part of me,
So, I wore Black veil as a conceal, to cover grief,
Shame, fear, loss and unforgiveness, the ugliest flaw in me,
As crystal rain flow heavily: until the veil was removed abruptly,
As I stand alone, I saw my reflection staring right at me,
‘There, was the real—true me, I did not like what I see,
And I question, the depths of love that had me in a night dream:
Yet, I rise above the raging sea, for the spirit of breath,
Did not abandoned me; I have begun to feel, more peace, & worthy.
