Healing

Why does healing have to hurt?

Its suppose to make you feel better but I feel worse

Words I write to express my pain

But now I will use it as a superpower that I will gain.

All of my days I try to maintain 

Even to those that use my name in vain

This mountain Im climbing to reach the peak 

But I'll keep trying even when I feel weak.

I can feel the strong winds of doubt,fear and uncertainty to blow me away from my fullest potential, but I will give my all to withstand this forecast with just a pencil.

Writing will become my escape when I'm in the dark

Writing will help me piece myself back together when I fall apart

I'm the author and illustrator of my life

Even though somedays cut my spirits like a knife

When i reach the top of this mountain is the day i can't wait to come

At that point I will be ok with all the wars I never won

At the top I will hold the flag that represents victory 

Even though im an individual that tends to be a walking contradictory 

To get to that flag that I see in the distance will require all my blood,sweat and tears

When you let things fester for so long you end up needing to become a plumber and fix a lot of repairs. 

I want to emerge from this dark hole

Even though I'm scared of what's on the other side and untold

This journey won't be easy but will soon push start

And to remind myself Im enough from the bottom of my heart

Healing is a laborious journey isn't it - however, it would seem you know what process helps you the most.
A heartfelt read - Keep writing NelliKong

Wow! This is touching. Reached out to me. Its a reflection of a fighter who lives to fight another day. A survivor. I know this feeling. I always say 'Been knock down 99 times but got up 100." Thank you for sharing. You are enough to be your own hero. Its in you.
