Grounding

You won't know what it's like to heal until you can feel gravity, Until the cavity in your heart takes skin from your soul and grafts itself anew. See, once you've had a little taste of trauma, you expect it for every meal, and you keel over in pain when disdain isn't there for comfort. Anxiety becomes your security and depression your delight, you fight to stay down because nothing else is right. Nothing else is real. But one day, you say 'enough' - I'm tougher than this and bliss is where I want to be. Free and unafraid, justice will be paid as you stare darkness in the eyes and the lies in your head fall away. You are more than what you have been told. You are bold and unashamed.
