From The "Healing" Poetry Series

II.

I hope 

you choose 

not to rest 

in your pain

To tuck between 

the sheets of wounds 

that stay the same

To lie on dampened pillows,

that hold years worth of woes

Awakening each day, and

putting on the same clothes 

I hope you choose not to lie in your lesions

To see worth in healing, and facing grey seasons 

To see sunlight at the end of the storm... 

Where your heart regains pace,

and takes back its form.

Make it stand out
