"Within Yourself"

 

Truth...

You are the only human being who knows everything that you have been through...

Everything that has been gained...

And everything that has been lost along the way

A lifetime of existence, layered and built, broken and saved

Sadly, there are those who wish you would fail...

They are the ones who gather dark pieces of you

Saving them up to use against you on those unfortunate days...

When your light is too big for them to see anything other than all the ways their own light does not shine

Pay attention to those who react with hostility and anger towards your boundaries

Found there is where the edge of their disrespect begins

Trauma is or can be memory...

It is also reliving the pain...

Trust within yourself comes from allowance

To give yourself permission to change

Shed the being of who you use to be

A reset and start over again transition...

To grow into the best version of you

Never forget how beautiful different is

Peace will always feel uncomfortable at first...

Especially when the only thing that you have been use to is survival mode

But as strange as it is...

Closure to things can come at the oddest moments

Now, months or years later...

It's that lightness of spirit felt on an ordinary day

Without prediction or planing there is a release

And for a first time in a long while, there is a deep exhale...

Setting you free.
