It\u2019s not the easiest thing to do<\/p>\n
No one wants to dissect themselves<\/p>\n
Nor open old wounds<\/p>\n
But in order to heal you must revisit past events<\/p>\n
Although you\u2019ve been trying to forget<\/p>\n
And you want to keep it buried deep<\/p>\n
The pain you can\u2019t avoid<\/p>\n
Because it keeps resurfacing<\/p>\n
The hurt will never go away<\/p>\n
Until you learn the lesson it\u2019s trying to teach you<\/p>\n
If you refuse to accept its presence<\/p>\n
It will continue to haunt you<\/p>\n
You must face the demon head on<\/p>\n
You have to address it<\/p>\n
You must accept it<\/p>\n
Forgive yourself<\/p>\n
And release it<\/p>\n
Healing won\u2019t always feel like you\u2019re on cloud nine<\/p>\n
Most of the time it will hurt like hell<\/p>\n
Some days will feel like sunshine<\/p>\n
But most days you will feel your heart rip<\/p>\n
You need to heal in order to move forward<\/p>\n
And no matter how bad you feel<\/p>\n
Remind yourself you\u2019re breaking a cycle<\/p>\n
You\u2019re one day closer to freedom<\/p>\n
You\u2019re closer to your God given purpose<\/p>\n
Let it go<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
