Poem
For whatever reason, I've been experiencing weird triggers recently. I'm sharing stuff in the hope that my struggles will help others. I'm not interested in sympathy or attention. My intentions are pure. But I humbly accept that people will only understand us at the level that they are enlightened. This isn't a high and mighty kind of observation, but rather an acceptance that we are all on our own path and at different stages of our soul growth.

I've had a challenging life. My childhood was pretty awful. But I have always tried to focus on the positive side of things; and I've forgiven those who traumatised me. However, this doesn't fix the past. It doesn't let family (or others) off the hook. 

I'm still working on my healing. And I accept that it's a process and a lifelong journey. If you're struggling with something, I hope that you're able to work through it and find closure for yourself. So often we find that closure from others is wishful and unlikely. 

If you have family secrets, I hope that they won't drown you or keep you in the dark. Somehow, we have to let the light and truth set us free. Stay blessed and take care. Blessings, love and light. 

Skeletons

I have all these 
Difficult memories
Too many traumas
From my childhood 

I buried them
Deep inside
And tried to grow
Well-behaved demons

But there underneath
The darkness and dirt
All that emptiness and horror
The demons still claw and bite

They struggle to breathe
They long for the fires of hell
It's time to set them free
Let the light into their crypt

The skeletons in the family closet
Could fill a cemetery
It's not my responsibility
To keep the demons from eating them

Those skeletons are tumbling
One by one they're escaping
Truth is always better 
And life goes on for everyone

No family is perfect
And normal is an illusion
I've kept quiet for so long
And I'm the only one who paid the price

I have all these difficult memories
And I've been working through them for so long
The healing process takes time 
But I keep trying to live and learn

Love encompasses respect and trust
It is not about hurt and pain
Our family is meant to be good and kind
Not traumatise us with their betrayals

I'm setting my demons free to return 
Back to hell where they belong
I'm embracing pure love and light
Without family ties to keep me down
