Why did you laugh and call me fragile
When I told you I am healing?
Healing is not weak -
This is the hardest thing I've ever done.
Healing isn't pretty. It's lots of panic attacks and freak-outs, it's a lot of emotional outbursts and not sleeping well. Healing is facing fears you didn't know you had and it's looking your past in the eyes and telling it that it has no control over you anymore. It's seeing your monsters for the first time maybe in years and telling them what they did to you. Healing is ****** and sweaty and tearful. It's messy and difficult but it is not weak. It is not fragile. It's a woman getting up from the field of battle, ****** and ***** from war, picking up her sword and choosing to fight instead of laying down to die. Healing is anything but fragile, it is anything but weak. And I won't let you tell me otherwise.
