The pack within

We are the voices, fierce and kind,
A pack of souls in one shared mind.
Through storms we’ve walked, through fire stood,
Strong in shadow, strong for good.

Each alter bears a name, a flame,
A piece of truth, yet none the same.
Some guard the gates, some soothe the cries,
Some hold the stars behind our eyes.

In silent rooms where others flee,
We stay—unseen, but brave and free.
Our pain runs deep, but deeper still
Is healing born of iron will.

Not fractured, no—we intertwine,
Threads of gold through hands and time.
We build, we break, we fall, we rise,
Together bound beneath these skies.

So if you ask, “Who stands so tall?”
It isn’t one. It’s all. It’s all.
Somewhere inside, a world intact—
Not broken… just a powerful pack.

RDP Sunday: pack

    What you say is true ~ and that’s all on you, my friend. Not many who have faced this challenge can claim to have survived it as themselves ~ without “unifying” and without blowing apart, either. It took every bit of your amazing strength of will, intelligence, honesty and openness of heart to do it.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
