Truth To Be Told

She ran fast and far, across wooded lands, deserts, east to west. Trying her hardest to out run the pain and problems at best It failed in brewing sand storms while the culprit remained inside There was no place for her to run, there was no place to hide She had to sit on barren land and face the depth of what she knew Decide to work at healing the open wounds before they grew Because without looking within, she would not be able to see The buds to her blooming dreams waiting, with any clarity So, she stopped in her choice to take the most difficult road yet The road of truth to be told that would leave her without regret Heidi sands 8/23/17

It is difficult to face what ails us Heidi. Be strong and remember you are not alone.
