all of our journeys are different,

healing is a strange process.

doing the deep internal work,

not noticing you’re making progress.

–

healing is quite hard,

at times it is not seen.

but sometimes healing hides,

it hides in the in-between.

–

between what you plan,

between what you do.

but healing is apparent,

if only you just knew.

–

embrace your journey,

enjoy where you are.

you’re learning and healing,

soon you’ll see just how far.

–

reflect how far you’ve come,

it can fly before your eyes.

in such a busy world,

healing can hide in disguise.
