Healing

When healing feels like breaking

Healing is the process,

Of becoming healthy again.

It's a form of restoration,

And sometimes it involves pain.

Healing can be difficult,

The journey can be long.

It might seem never ending,

Sometimes it feels all wrong.

Healing doesn't always occur,

The way we expect it to.

We want to snap our fingers,

And immediately be made new.

Healing is something we desperately need,

But not always what we ask for.

Sometimes it's braving new experiences,

Sometimes it's closing a door.

Healing can mean saying goodbye,

To things that aren't right for you.

It's hard, it's scary, it's sad and it hurts,

But it's something that you need to do.

Healing is unexpected,

Sometimes you won't even know,

What it is you need the healing from,

What it is that has to go.

Healing is something you won't see,

While it's happening to you.

You may wonder why, there's all this pain,

That you have to go through.

But then, when the healing is complete,

You will finally see.

You've been repaired, restored, made new again.

You have been set free.
