healing

dear you,

the stories society told.

the stories that crawled under her skin,

patterning the soul far beneath her mind

to believe

it doesn’t deserve itself,

it doesn’t deserve to be seen,

it doesn’t deserve to be anything more

than another human robot.

dear you,

the stories society told.

she learns to bow fully to you in gratitude,

because now she is blessed with

the beautiful opportunity

to feel

the fullness of the human experience.

the joy of healing

the joy of awakening

through the depths of painful lack and insecurity

into

INTEGRATED

joy.
