GROWTH

When a wound cuts so deep

You are changed

When multiple wounds in different areas

Cut in various depths and lengths

One is already new

Forever

I will never be who I was before the hurt

Every wound is a story

A memory

A new experience to tell

Myself

In the future

That is what growth is

It is the healing I look back on to look forward

It is the wisdom sprinkled on to my eyes

I know to never do x y and z again

Sometimes its weird and uncomfortable

To adjust into the new specs on the eyes

It takes some time to get used to

Since they block some of what I used to see

Only now I have a shining light that beams

Where I dare to stare

Ive blossomed and I

can feel it in my bones

I am re born

I am new

I have changed

Sparkles see me and i see them

and i know that There is only more

Hurting

Healing

and growing

to go

So I embrace its essence, forever.
