i gathered all the pieces
of my desolated heart.
i sorted my emotions,
took my being full apart.
i emptied my mind
of the clutter,
of fear.
i opened my eyes
& the truth was right there.
i stopped feeling sorry,
no pity,
no doubt.
i brooded the confusion,
i found my way out.
i made me a promise
to seek what is real,
broke free from a *******,
this is how
i healed.
