Today I Cried

Today I Cried - The Ugly Side of Healing

Today I cried.

I cried in grief, I cried in mourning

Not for someone lost

I cried for my life.

Today I cried.

I felt each overflowing tear

roll down my cheek

and I said

"I love you."

Today I cried

but don't feel sad for me.

Rejoice in each droplet

each drop of relief

each drop of love

each drop of forgiveness

each drop of fear

each drop of limitation

each drop of something I once longed for

that I now have. That I now have.

Today I cried.

Today I cried;

I cried and released my old life

my tears removing barriors

rolling away the scary parts

rolling away the broken hearts

rolling open the path of the warrior

It's your time to shine.

Today I cried

a fond farewell

as I became a butterfly.
