healing is like walking through a fire
with your eyes closed.
there are no emergency exits
to escape from your trauma.
enablers will tell you to
"just breathe" as the smoke
of re-victimization fills your lungs.
this is going to hurt a lot
before it gets better.
it's hard to see a happy ending when
your vision is clouded by all of the
ways your life almost has.
you will be told you're just not
"seeing" things the right way.
but progress can only be made if you risk
the pain of what it takes
to keep going.
and what a wonderful feeling it is
to finally see yourself outside of
the chaos you have survived.
