Strange, isn't it?
As much as we know ourselves...
We still grant another being full access to our inner core
And we will crumble to pieces every time...
Especially when careless words fall from their lips
Even though they have never lived a second of our life they have spoken of
We listen...
But reality always shows truth
People can't give what they don't have themselves
Reflection is always looking back
Through the remnants of so many moments
The past is now behind us
We are not what use to be
Because healing comes in waves
Like the changing of tides of the seasons
Each layer is a new discovery
Emotions that resurface through the stages of life
We are not defined by the darkness of trauma
Only by our choice to react to it
Survival is light seen
Breathing amongst the footsteps taken
Even when the embrace that holds us exceeds our conscious of understanding
It's what we give and take...
Pain is always the price we pay for growth
That is why we refer to it as growing pains
Exhale yesterday...
Tomorrow calls your name
Acceptance is the realization in learning
That it only ever should be you against you
Fighting for yourself...
By focusing on your own inner voice
Because it's the only one that matters.
