My Ancestors



Counting down the minutes to midnight underneath the moon with its calming light.
Angels of Truth appear to me as they put their hands over my heart and set me free from all my nightmares and continuous frights.
They whisper so softly in my ears as I feel my tears slipping down my cheeks in the Twilight.
Do not get upset that you actually have a genuine heart that does not make you weak.
Remember we need more people like you in the world you will always get back up you're not easily to except defeat.
Even though people will show you their true colors when their masks fall off with their actions and blinding deceit.
With their actions do not go astray do not turn pain into ugly because they would want it that way.
Remember who you are don't let the bitterness of those change the person you became.
Tear after tear does not make you weak it means you have feelings.
Let it all go now start the process of healing.
As they continuously whisper in my ears you are such a beautiful soul don't ever change who you are.
Remember who you are what you have accomplished only a survivor can only make it that far.
Remember ashes to ashes dust to dust even though your heart is breaking you can be healed over time.
No one has that power over you to keep devastating your heart and tricking your mind.
You young Warrior have fought so many battles you have fallen countless times but in the end you still get back up.
With those words it brings a smile slowly across my face because their words are true as they have watched over me they have clearly seen enough.
Your ancestors watch over you , you are not a force to be reckoned with.
They will always guide you to the right path and always will point out your light that shines Within.
Those caring words they shared with me in my time of need I hold dear to my heart.
As I fully truly understand nothing or no one could never truly tear me apart.
Not with guardians like them on my side they remind me of who I am an awakened my pride.
They reminded me of my strengths and my eternal light I shine bright deep inside.
As they say to me life is a battle just know what you are fighting for always remember when one door closes another one opens for you to walk through.
With that wisdom and with that clarity I will always know deep down inside what I must do.
I thank them for taking out the time to come my way to see me tonight.
Even in the Darkness of the night they shared their wisdom and gave me hope as they showered me with their Heavenly light.
