thriving after trauma

After the storm has passed, and the winds have ceased to howl

The trauma of the past begins to slowly unfold

A tale of pain and sorrow, of scars that won’t abate

But in the darkness, a glimmer of hope begins to create

The journey of coping starts, a path that’s long and hard to take

But with each step forward, the weight begins to break

The healing process slowly starts, like a flower that blooms in time

As the hurt begins to subside, and the heart begins to align

With every breath, with every step, with every tear that falls

The journey of healing becomes a story that stands tall

It’s a journey of self-discovery, of learning to let go

Of embracing the pain, and finding a way to make it glow

And though the road ahead is long, and uncertain as can be

It’s a journey worth taking, for its where I’m meant to be

For in the end, it’s not about the scars that remain

But about thriving after trauma, and rising above the pain

So let the journey begin, let the healing start anew

Let the pain of the past become a distant memory or two

Let me rise above the ashes, like a phoenix born anew

And let me thrive after trauma, with a heart that’s strong and true.
