HEAL, YOU'VE EARNED IT (1)
<p>It is true that you never really know how far you can go till you try,
</p><p>One foot in front of the other and keep pushing on with your mind.
</p><p>Its only then that you find out that "a mile, a minute" is not just for tales.
</p><p>Your mind can make it happen.
</p><p><br></p><p>Do you remember when you used to smile and hide,
</p><p>Make your way through the crowd with your head between your thighs,
</p><p>Now you can keep a straight face and plod through the sea of the world’s multitude.
</p><p>With your head above theirs, still feeling like you own the place.
</p><p><br></p><p>That was a time to feel little.
</p><p>And now, you feel full, a fullness that is not pride,
</p><p>Humble but still just as solid.
</p><p><br></p><p>I remember when snoring was your worst.
</p><p>You’d think you won’t make it through the night,
</p><p>like your head would waltz to the croaks from the walls beside you.
</p><p>It was always a reminder of the one person who came to inflict pain.
</p><p><br></p><p>You'd feel powerless and fickle,
</p><p>Like you can never be far enough, away.
</p><p>Its years now and the feeling lurks just beyond the surface.
</p><p><br></p><p>You hear sounds, and you feel not the previous dread, but a newfound freedom,
</p><p>The freedom of safety, the freedom of distance.
</p><p>The freedom where the words no longer bite, and your skin never breaks.
</p><p>Not one atom of moisture would you need to yield out of pain because now,
</p><p>You are sure that time is past, and nothing can take you back there.
</p><p><br></p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/9pidjdgh.png" style="background-color: transparent;" alt=""> </p><p>Those times were the years of the abuse you had to endure,
</p><p>Because you had no choice and no one else,</p><p> but now you can rest assured that those times are over and, </p><p>you’re never going to get that small again.
</p><p><br></p><p>
