Therapy Bits

In childhood’s innocence, I found my safe haven

A place where love and laughter would forever remain

But life had other plans, and darkness crept in one day

Bringing trauma’s heavy chains, and driving the joy away

The past still lingers, a shadow on my wall

A constant reminder of the pain that I’ve faced, after all

But I’ve learned to confront it, to face my fears with might

To walk through the fire, and emerge into the light

My story’s not one of victimhood, but of healing too

A journey of self-discovery, and finding strength anew

For in the depths of sadness, I’ve discovered a power within

A resilience that’s grown, like a flower that blooms again

I’m no longer held back by anxious thoughts and fears

I’ve learned to breathe deeply, and dry away my tears

I’ve found a sense of security, a feeling of being whole

A sense of self that’s strong, and not easily broken or sold

I’ve come to understand that healing is a journey long and slow

But with each step forward, I grow more strong and free to go

I’ve learned to cherish the present, and let the past be the past

And though it’s still a part of me, it will not forever last

So I’ll hold on to my strength, and let it guide me through

And find my way back to the child who once felt safe and new

For in the end, it’s not about erasing the pain

But about learning to heal, and rising above the shame.
