Finally Home
By JC
Finally Home
I can finally do things on my own
I can finally do what I wish to
I can finally depend on myself
I can finally not take orders from someone else
I can finally make my own decisions
I can finally live the way I want to be living
I can finally enjoy this wonderful feeling
I can finally just be free
Freedom
Free At Last
Free At Last
Thank God Almighty
They Finally Freed Me

JC,
It is very inspiring to read that you have come out of your darkest hour. We often take the fundamental things in life for granted such as freedom, family, and love. Sometimes we do not realize how great something truly is until we do not have it anymore. I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like to wake up on a daily basis and get a breath of fresh air and a glimpse of sunlight. I wish you nothing but the best in your days ahead, wherever that may take you.
JC,
Welcome home. Do what you can to never go back to that horrible place. It must have been very hard for you to endure the pain you’ve gone through. Now that you are home, turn yourself around and make better decisions for your future.
