Forgiving Fate

Allie
Forgiveness is a tricky word. It means setting something free that caused you an immense amount of pain.
It takes a strong person to be able to climb that insurmountable feat. And some days I don’t know if I have the strength to do it on my own.
But I know I can forgive fate. Fate led me down a path that almost killed me. But it also led me to the man who is the other half of my damaged soul.
And I will fight whatever gets in my way to keep the storms at bay for not only myself but him. Because he is my anchor in this raging war we call life and I refuse to let him drift away.

No one sees the struggles because I am an expert at hiding them. No one sees the pain that I feel every day, every time I let one slip through my fingers.
And no matter how hard I try, the storm keeps raging; threatening to consume me and swallow me whole.
I will fight every ounce of poison that courses through my veins because I refuse to let the darkness win. I can’t. Because if I do, I will never see her finally be free.
Because she is my bluebird soaring high above the waves, and I desperately want to weather the storm and fly free with her.
