THE SONRISE INSIDE OF ME

“The Sonrise Inside of Me" (by Michelle L. LeBlanc 04/04/2023) Dedicated to my son, Jayden Donald LeBlanc My heart aches My body breaks My mind protected My tissues exorcisted A whole new level I have found Learning to process trauma Has definitely broken new ground Feelings, no longer suppressed All coming to the surface Beyond what I would've guessed Now I'm feeling them all around Trying to be more careful So my mind calms, remaining sound Doing the work on myself that I need No, I'm not giving up Even though my heart still bleeds Time did not make it easier in my case The longer you've been gone The heavier the weight But I will not give up healing myself Doing the work, moving forward My health won't go on a back shelf I'll press through, I will press through Never losing my focus Taking steps, onward with you Thinking of you, will not always be pain It will be my heart's strength A tool being used to rewire my brain You'll always be The Sonrise Inside of Me Your life a true inspiration Of what the world was meant to see!
