If you're strong enough
To think
About the damage
That has been done
Rather than
Just wish it away

Does that mean
That you're not
As broken
As you thought?

Or does it mean
That after it all
You can't quite let go
That you are indeed
Very broken...

Is there a balance
To it all
Between dwelling
And remembering,
Forgetting and moving on,
Or no?

Is there a way
To know the best thing
To do?

Or is it all just
Worried "guesstimation"
About how much
Fear and pain
There will be left
Depending on
The approach?
