Breathe,
Slowly open yourself
To that blinding pain...
You're scared
Of removing the bandage;
That quick fix of dissociation-
A welcome escape
From your crashed reality.
It terrifies you
That you might bleed out,
Or find something worse;
A festered wound
Incapable of healing...
You've closed your eyes
But the world hasn't fallen away;
The clock still ticks
And you need to heal and move on,
To the next chapter waiting to be read...
Overcome the pain you fear,
Find yourself in your darkness
And breathe--
Slowly
Open yourself,
To the balm of healing...

Take the time and space you need to heal
