The wound is not your mistake
But the healing is your responsibility
It is up to you to take the steps
To move towards recovery
The pain may feel overwhelming
And your heart may feel broken
But with time and care
Your spirit can be awoken
It may seem easier to ignore
The hurt that lies inside
But the only way to heal
Is to let yourself abide
In the discomfort and the sorrow
You must allow yourself to feel
Let the tears fall freely
As you begin to reveal
The deep-seated emotions
That have been bottled up inside
For only by acknowledging them
Can you begin to subside
The memories of what caused the wound
May linger in your mind
But it is how you choose to react
That will determine what you find
Will you let the pain consume you
Or will you rise above
And take hold of your own path
Guided by strength and love
The journey to healing is not easy
It may be long and tough to bear
But with each and every step
You'll know that you are getting there
You'll learn to forgive yourself
And let go of past mistakes
To embrace the present moment
And all the joy it creates
You'll begin to see the beauty
In the world around you
And cherish the moments
That you once took for granted too
With every new day
You'll take one step ahead
As you let your heart and soul
Slowly mend
The wound may never fully disappear
But it will no longer define you
As you live your life on purpose
And with each moment, anew
So, take the time to heal
To find your inner peace
And let yourself be transformed
Into the best version of yourself, at ease
For the wound may not be your fault
But the healing is your responsibility
And it is only by taking charge
That you'll achieve true serenity.
