The Release

I believe of all the gifts
God bestowed upon me
There was one he knew a child could not handle
So it has slowly become
An integral part of my life
Over the past three years
Gradually transforming me
From the anger filled brat
Full of vengeance, revenge, and spite
Into a mature adult
With emotions often buried
To make it possible to listen
Without the common judgements
Others tend to make
The gift was simply patience
To take five minutes
Or twenty four hours
TO have an open mind
Time to explain instructions
Helping with problems or giving support
Without a hint of exhaustion
Later pouring myself
Into the tip of a pen
Releasing the stress I'd absorbed
Before I even noticed it was there
Onto a sheet of paper
For others to interpret and enjoy
