Healing

In my eyes, I feel like a fake

I keep on making the same mistake

I keep failing

My heart keeps wailing.

My family isn't proud of me,

I mean why would they be?

Is all this happening for a reason?

Or this just a season?

All these emotions I am feeling.

This is the process of healing.

Njeri your last line says it all...we can all heal. Your family are not the best people to judge. You can learn to love and accept yourself. Your poem beautifully captures this emotion.
