Denial

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

Who else could have pulled me to my feet?  Who else would possibly understand my depths of despair?  When all was darkness, you shed a light.  Though I would curse you for daring to bring the sunlight.

I stumbled down the trail but you lit my path. Yours was the hand on my shoulder when I sought comfort.  Yours were the whispered words of encouragement my heart felt when I cried out.

 Denial and disbelief muddied my thoughts.  You persisted, ever so lightly.  You knew.

I would come to you only to turn away again and again.  Doubts, big and bold, held me tight.  And the darkness would creep back in as I tumbled down the rabbit hole once more.  Until you were there to draw back the curtain and allow the light in.

You would extend a hand, only to have me push it away again and again.  How many times have I rejected you?  Denied you?

Yet, despite my flaws, my arrogance and stupidity, you would save me from myself over and over.

How can I deny that?
