Pain, because you can’t heal
if you don’t feel your scars,
relive forbidden memories, and
forgive yourself to give yourself
hope for tomorrow.
Art, because pain needs a place
to rest in peace, broken pieces
make masterpieces before
weary eyes. Be proud of this, be
witness of tomorrow.
Therapy, because dragons can’t
be slain in broad daylight. Daybreak
breaks silence once feared, now embraced
with hope, with witness, with a brave heart—
freedom in tomorrow.
