My Soul Is Returning

I know I may not be the best,
Nor is my mind the greatest,
But I do know my heart still beats,
With the  purest of intent.

My mind may still weep,
My soul may still cry,
But I will not allow myself,
To lay down,
And die.

My hope is slowly returning,
My garden I will replant,
Self love I am still learning,
And strengthening like an ant.

My path is very shaky,
And monsters still jump out,
But seven years is all I need,
to clean my skeltons out.

Seven year in cells,
I will be a new being,
And my body will be cleansed,
From all their wrongdoings.

Your body is renewed,
After seven years,
Every cell is replaced;
The thought brings me to tears.

One day they will not touch me,
My body will not be their's,
I will be a new person,
Without all these trivial fears.

My mind my still be shifts,
And I still may scream at night,
But my body wil hold no more hatred,
I will be able to step into the light.

I'm making progress now,
Though it may be slow,
To keep my soul from burning,
and to pick up my fallen crown.

    I really love the rhyme scheme you have going on in this poem; it creates an amazing flow and ties the whole thing together very nicely. Your title is also incredible, it hooked me right in.
