Hello trauma my old friend.
I thought I healed you but, here you are – back again.
Although we’ve been through this before,
Here I am, on the floor.
It feels as though I’m at deaths door.
I really can’t take it anymore.
The tears I’ve cried, my broken heart,
It feels like my world is falling apart.
I’ve survived the past and I know this won’t last.
Yet, I feel ashamed from the stones been cast.
I know I’m not wrong for how I feel.
No one else knows my real deal.
You dealt me cards to help me grow stronger.
I just can’t hold up this smile for much longer.
You knocked me down and I got up again.
Every time through, it is a win.
My strength gets stronger.
My wisdom gets wiser.
It’s what I hold onto as my reminder.
There is more to this life than meets the eye.
I am letting go of all the lies.
“I know I’m here for so much more”
I repeat that mantra from the floor.
I take one breath at a time
Reminding my heart “we’ll be just fine”
You’re here again not to break me down.
But, to remind me now how far I’ve come.
Thank you for reminding me,
The more I love, the more I’m free.
❤️
