"Gone Are The Days"

Some days...

We listen...

And we learn...

Others keep us silent...

To the moment of realization

When something...

Or someone has changed...

A description is manipulated

A stranger is born...

Bred from confusion

Lacking all understanding

We are at a loss...

When hate is embraced

Beyond the limits of comprehension

How does that make everything that follows right?

Trauma to the soul teaches us to guard ourselves

Protecting that which deserves safe keeping

We are the caretaker of the light within us

Know your worth...

Because sadly, some hope you don't...

Healing allows you to keep the boundaries

A reminder of where not to go

Gone are the days of taking on others burdens

We are not the sum of their wrong choices made

Yes, we do fall...

Some moments break us...

Altering our way of being

And we do fail...

But remember...

Humanity is not perfection

It's a balance...

A choice...

The decision to make a stand

To rise above yourself

To heal as best as you can

And overcome that which use to hold you still.
