I’ve learnt that healing is a journey,

one of pause and inner grace

A path to mend the soul,

A quest for a safer place.

It begins with self-reflection,

and readiness to grow.

The will to face the fears,

And allowing the wounds to show.

It’s about learning to live freely,

with an open and loving heart

Listening to your inner voice,

And embracing a fresh new start,

I know that healing is a process,

It needs time, courage, and fight,

patience, gentleness, and grit.

and a shining guiding light

If I am to brave this journey,

Of leaving the shadows behind,

I shall one day find the light,

of a liberated heart and mind.
