“Marriage”

I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.

I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise.

I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him.

I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me.

As always, she folds. Drops her dream, made-to-order.

There was never any hope.

Never again will their judgment have anything to do
with what I think I can do.
