What does healing look like? It looks like tears Facing fears Crawling back in bed covers over my head It looks like time Admitting i’m not fine Not yet and no clue when Wanting to give up But not giving up It looks like a fight Staring up at midnight A cold bed Jumbled thoughts Emotions both numb and wild Deciding to live Refusing to give... over to defeat It’s not a checklist Or a clinched fist Or an attempt to barely exist No, healing is living It’s rebellious acts of resilience It’s chasing the sun Rediscovering fun It’s climbing back up Maybe clawing my way up And through And out Refusing to entertain defeating doubt It’s working through what I’m walking through It’s counseling and pondering It’s being okay with quiet And then dancing it out so loudly Lifting my head proudly Kneeling to God humbly And finally knowing I will be okay Better than okay Maybe my best ever. Definitely my best ever. ❤️LT
