I thought healing would feel like sunlight… Warm, a scorching light that would heat the coldness embedded within my soul I thought healing would feel like wind A gentle breeze, grasping my face like the lingering hand of love A gust of air, inflating my lungs with a gasping breath thirsting for life I thought healing would feel water Refreshing, like a baptism into a new life having cleansed my essence of the past I thought healing would feel Empowering Healing feels like sunlight Searing, savagely burning who I was While I’m trying to be who I am To become who I am meant to be Healing feels like wind A squall, enduring and persisting Caterwauls themselves can not break through to the world around me Only the gust itself can be heard in the soundscape Healing feels like water An undertow sweeping away the stability I once had Drowning me in the very repressed remnants of what I had thought were long gone The silt choking me as I’m swept further from where I once was Healing Feels like Rebirth When we are born we come into this world in pain, screaming, crying, desperately trying to return to what was once our home The light hits your face, your lungs fill with air, all after being born through broken water If being born hurts how could I expect being reborn to be painless I have been reborn Now it’s time to GROW

I thought healing would feel like sunlight… Warm, a scorching light that would heat the coldness embedded within my soul I thought healing would feel like wind A gentle breeze, grasping my face like the lingering hand of love A gust of air, inflating my lungs with a gasping breath thirsting for life I thought healing would feel water Refreshing, like a baptism into a new life having cleansed my essence of the past I thought healing would feel Empowering Healing feels like sunlight Searing, savagely burning who I was While I’m trying to be who I am To become who I am meant to be Healing feels like wind A squall, enduring and persisting Caterwauls themselves can not break through to the world around me Only the gust itself can be heard in the soundscape Healing feels like water An undertow sweeping away the stability I once had Drowning me in the very repressed remnants of what I had thought were long gone The silt choking me as I’m swept further from where I once was Healing Feels like Rebirth When we are born we come into this world in pain, screaming, crying, desperately trying to return to what was once our home The light hits your face, your lungs fill with air, all after being born through broken water If being born hurts how could I expect being reborn to be painless I have been reborn Now it’s time to GROW
I hope you enjoy, and maybe find comfort and beauty in the pain 🌻
