Healing Is A Circle

Healing is not linear; it is often round.
Sometimes you’ll be climbing up, sometimes falling down.
The same pains you will face again and again.
Each time a little different, but new parts you will mend.

One day the pain will feel awful, on a scale like a ten.
But the next time you face it, a nine it will be then.
Over the years it lessens but pops up from time to time.
Gradually it fades away through healing of the mind.

But triggers appear as they will indiscriminately.
Sometimes they will completely derail you and can be hard to see.
The pain you faced a year ago may fade some with time.
But occasionally it’ll flare up; this you will find.

Each time the pain takes over, embrace it as a friend.
It is trying to heal you; places it wants to mend.
Let it teach you lessons. Cry if you must.
Let the anger out. Let it turn to dust.

Healing comes gradually, but it is sure.
Days may pass slowly, but new life you’ll incur.
Do not repress emotions or bottle them inside.
You are worth the healing that you need to find.
