Healing in Circles

Healing happens in circles, not in lines

If you walk on a straight path leaving behind

Your past trauma, you are unlikely to heal

But if you retrace your steps backwards, it would not reveal

The tools that you need to release from your soul

All traces of trauma, to make yourself whole

What you need to do is to walk in a circle until you find

That you have reached the place of trauma in your mind

You have taken a new path, you are evaluating your past experience

With a fresh perspective, you are observing it from a distance

You have gained valuable insight in your circular journey

You have gathered new tools to finally set yourself free

From the past- a long way you have come

A more resilient version of yourself you have become

You are finally ready to forget and forgive

And absolve yourself of the misery in which you have lived

*

Life came full circle, bringing you to the spot

That despite all the years, forgotten you had not

Now that you are there, you are on a healing pathway

You can walk forward, in a straight line today
