It’s not the easiest thing to do

No one wants to dissect themselves

Nor open old wounds

But in order to heal you must revisit past events

Although you’ve been trying to forget

And you want to keep it buried deep

The pain you can’t avoid

Because it keeps resurfacing

The hurt will never go away

Until you learn the lesson it’s trying to teach you

If you refuse to accept its presence

It will continue to haunt you

You must face the demon head on

You have to address it

You must accept it

Forgive yourself

And release it

Healing won’t always feel like you’re on cloud nine

Most of the time it will hurt like hell

Some days will feel like sunshine

But most days you will feel your heart rip

You need to heal in order to move forward

And no matter how bad you feel

Remind yourself you’re breaking a cycle

You’re one day closer to freedom

You’re closer to your God given purpose

Let it go
