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!
