I will heal

My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage.
No slamming doors or breaking glass, no keeping anyone in a cage.
No name calling, shaming or blackmail,
No fear, no hurt or blame, my ego will never be that frail.
My home will be gentle, it will be warm…
It will keep my loved ones safe, never be the reason behind any harm.
I may come from a broken and twisted place,
but I will build something whole and safe.
I’ll sing in the shower again, cook with a smile and dance in all the rooms…
There will be laughter on the dinner table, we will take a walk under the moon.
I want to know in real how does all this feel,
Someday I will breathe, someday I will heal.

What a lovely and powerful poem Akriti. πŸ’– You are already healing girlfriend. Brokenness has a way of making us recognize that we don’t want to continue on this destructive path, that tears down our spirits and wears us down completely like an old rag. 😞

What a good and refreshing read! Stay encouraged sweetie and kindly step away from all things toxic, whether its family or not. 😍 πŸ’ πŸ₯°

Akriti, thank you my new friend. πŸ₯° Kindness goes a long way and even as we write to help encourage others in our posts, we all could use a daily dose of kindness and encouragement in return. I know your spirit is the same way. I appreciate you and your energy! πŸ€— Stay encouraged! πŸ’– πŸ’“ πŸ’
