Learn

Healing leads to strength but takes so much time.

I will learn from this wound,

see an undimmed day.

I will learn from the endless nights,

kneeling down to pray.

This wound will be my eternal present,

 reminding me of you.

This wound will be my inner strength,

 sustaining me through.

I will learn that I hit rock bottom,

 weeping so much.

I will learn that God heals me,

 one gentle touch.

I pray you feel conviction,

 for innocents you did wrong.

I pray you learn to love,

a beautiful song.

Hi Jen, Indeed, the healing process takes so very long, sometimes never ending, especially with the deepest of love. I have learned, that the key to it all is learning how to forgive, it helps to speed the process along and we feel much better in the long run, not an easy task, but it is what our created would want us to do. The rhyme scheme flows well and doesn't seem forced, the last line, I think you need to remove the word "the" Nice expression of your true feelings.

Beautifully written. Well thought out.
The rhyming is great and it flows smoothly.
Yes, healing does take a long time, but, like Antony said, healing requires forgiveness. It sounds like you are on the right path.

Its a good poem for people that feel that way.
Me, being nihilist, not so much i did like the poem just not what it had t say its not my type.
I guess that it is bad i dont really feel bad for anyone that i do anything too. one time me and some friends beat the s**t out of a hobo because he called us "little f*****g sack of s***s" And by beat i mean BEAT. i am pretty sure he lost a few teeth and broke a few ribs. i guess i should work on that but i doubt i will.

sorry if this ruin our "friendship"
