Ghosts

At what point in time are we set free from the ghosts of our past?
What price do we have to pay to exorcise these spectors that continue to haunt us?
What must one do?
Tell me...I'd like to know!

 For years now, I have been fighting this fight. I've tried to be strong and persevere through the battles, but I am feeling the effects of fatigue.

My body is tired.
My mind is drained.
My soul feels sucked dry.

At what point, are we recognized for our courage through these battles?
When can we find rest?
Will there be resolution?
When will peace be achieved?

No matter what I say, no matter what I do, it's always going to be perceived negative.
I will never be trusted again.  I am slowly accepting this harsh reality.
I almost feel that despite all I've done, my words and actions mean nothing anymore.

At this point, I know God has made me new, forgiven me, and given me strength.  I fought valiantly!  And through God's grace, He has brought me peace.

So I will do what I know is the most powerful. I will pray and lift my friend up to the Lord! He has the power to forgive and create anew.  Only He can put these ghosts to rest!
