I have gone to the depths of the deepest valley

and dug myself a hole.

I have traveled far into the darkness

and in fear covered my eyes.

I have listened to each of the thoughts in my head

and believed every word.

I have determined to make it on my own

and blocked God's help in the process.

I have judged the actions of others harshly

and by doing so judged myself.

I have stood in the depths and the darkness

and struggled until the darkness grew.

I have felt the pain of all I created

and added to that pain by being strong.

I have seen my fear in all it's intensity

and increased it's power by looking away.

I have diligently created my reality

and fought against my creation with all my might.

I am now looking into the darkness

and recognizing it's light.

I am now seeing my creation

and I know it is perfection.

I am now asking for God's assistance

and receiving with simplistic ease.

I am now feeling my pain

and seeing it's oneness with my pleasure.

I am now recognizing judgment

and it compels me to empower myself and others.

I am now listening to each thought

and having compassion and patience towards the thinker.

I am now basking in the fire of my fear

and feeling the bliss of my soul from having the experience.
