Poem of the Week: Healing The Wounded Child Within

Lessons have manifested to create the path,

Each challenge a blessing and not an attack.

Why do we suffer these wounds so deep?

Sharing similar themes, yet truly unique.

Pain from childhood was stuffed inside,

Too much shame and guilt to hide.

Abuses, neglect, and suffering to the core,

By not addressing it, we have manifested more.

The inner wound may still feel cruddy,

Until the heart is care-fully studied.

Giving a voice to the one who couldn't speak,

Strengthening the soul who has been feeling so weak.

Expelling gossip with the Light of the truth,

Explaining what happened in the days of your youth.

Finally freeing the prisoner within,

In order for this new life to begin.

It's not about being right or making someone wrong,
