A Spiritual Journey

For the past two weeks I have attended the Twelve Steps: A Spiritual Journey program held at my church. I was not sure at first, or even still, why I am going other than maybe to deal with the emotional pain and baggage I care from my past. It has been a very scary thing for me to actually face the emotional stuff I have shoved down and ignored. Last night at the meeting a thought pop into my head which I put down into poem form.

At my mask, people pry

I want to run and hide.

But for shame and pride

I simply smile and lie.

This is where I am right now and I will no longer hide from it.
