I saw the sun dance on the water
And started to cry
I felt the warmth of the rock
And bathed in the azure blue sky.
An inner peace
That hadn’t been there in years
Taken from me as a child
Replaced with a lifetime of fears.
I was 10 when it happened
On that fateful day
That would change me forever
And leave me never feeling ok.
But in that moment yesterday,
I was able to see
Who I was at my core
Before you changed me.
I remembered my SELF,
My heart and my soul.
I remembered what it’s like
To once again feel whole.
All the bad fell away
And only peace remained.
The burden I carried
Had finally waned.
A trauma survivor
Fears they’ll never truly feel ok
Remembering who I was before trauma
Fulfilled me in the most beautiful way.
