In the quiet breath of night, I’m searching,
For the echoes of the past that still hold me tight,
Anxious whispers drift like shards of glass,
Fragments of trauma scattered, a haunting light.
Fear lingers, shadows deep in my soul,
But in the depths of vulnerability, I find my role,
Half alive, yet yearning to thrive anew,
Wrestling with demons, seeking what is true.
Healing comes softly, a delicate art,
Stitching the wounds that tear at my heart,
PTSD’s grip feels like a weight on my chest,
Yet in the struggle, I learn to find rest.
Each step forward, though heavy with doubt,
Builds bridges of courage where shadows once clout,
In the dance of the past, I learn how to stand,
Embracing the journey, a friend’s guiding hand.
So here I am, heart open wide,
Facing the storms, with the courage inside,
Though anxious, I rise, no longer in chains,
For in the art of living, my freedom remains.
