Promises and Truth

I took from someone their word that this is this and that is that
Colors firm, white is white and black is black
I believed and wholeheartedly listened to the words from their mouth
How crushed I felt when years gone by and then I was confused as to what was the truth

I thought long and hard about promises made and promises kept
I believed past truth from them and when they showed their true colors, I wept
I anguished why it was, why the change, what was then or now was the truth
The things told to me, were they real to my now aged self or long past youth

I reach out to one whose promises are firmly anchored in my soul
I embrace the truth that ages not, that never adds to or removes what I am told
Heavenly Father, forgive me for my careless indifference, my reckless and ungrateful state
For I did not treat you as you deserved, your purity, your words, I showed hate

I pray that I can earn your love once again and lay not on earth but treasures in heaven
I forgive my past, I lay down my hurts and bitterness, my bread is truth without leaven
I will seek you out, repair my heart, heal my soul and help those who hurt like me
No longer will I be anchored down, I can drop my shackles of self hate, I can be finally free

I did not plan this poem and it unfolded me late in the night. It is not reflective of anyone but was like a life poem started in youth and now in later life came to a point. The person is no longer anchored in the past but moved to free themselves of past pains to embrace their Lord
