My story is a safe haven for me. Writing has been the most effective tool during my healing journey. It not only keeps me alive but it will lead me into my destiny. Poetry has such soothing elements, and I am excited to welcome my next phase of life through it.
Safe Haven in a Story – Poetry Helps Me to Heal
And if I should write my life story,
Who would read or avoid it?
I’ve got more pep in my step now
I’ve got two sons and a daughter now
I’ve got ideas and plans of how
I’d like to complete a thing or two.
After years of loving myself less than all the who’s
Who crossed my path I affirm what
Is not my assignment
On this path to alignment
I resign this
Impulsive urge to sacrifice my own happiness.
What a long stretch of self-sabotage,
Willing to do anything for anyone,
Boundaries? I had none.
Not a clue
What to do
Or how to detach from
You this that you them –
You.
And if I should write my life story,
Who would read or avoid it?

No longer do I ignore the things I did to fill a void
It –
Is actually pretty freeing, the mindset I have today –
Of course I get a little lonely
But God willing there will come a day
When I am no longer tempted
To act out of trauma
Anger management is still a must
Along with many moments of reset.
And
If I should stay
In my little bubble
Of a safe place
It eliminates the internal race
I leap into in an effort to keep up with anyone else’s pace
It’s a safe haven.

Thank you for reading.
