Honestly Honoring the Process of Past Pain

from Notes On Healing and Clarity by Erin Elizabeth Wehrenberg

/

lyrics

Cried for only 2 minutes on the car ride home today.
Began to speak aloud to myself,
taking turns with tears.

“There is too much betrayal
and ignored pain between us
for me to feel safe here again.”

I imagined myself saying these things to you
and then feeling triumphant.

But I suppose waiting for the day you contact me again
doesn’t really make me that triumphant…

Does it?







(actually, yes. yes it does make me triumphant. i thought about you
in a new way. a way that magnifies the truth. a way that is freeing and
to get to the final freedom takes time and takes baby steps. contrary
to what i was told, i will celebrate this because i am slowly shifting
to the place i know i am supposed to be and to ignore that process
is a disservice to myself. healing is a process that takes time. time
is a process that takes time. it’s easy to forget, but time takes time.)
