When Healing Begins

You're too open, Girl.
You will need to build a wall.
Feelings are to hide.
What advice is this?
Please keep it to yourself, Man.
Does not work for me.
Open up Feelings.
Crying's cathartic.
Get enraged and scream.
Jump up and down, Girl.
Show true unreserved feelings.
There's nothing better.
Healing can begin
When your truths are revealed.
Empower yourself.
Listen to your heart.
She is waiting patiently.
And she wants to heal.

I envision a young lady looking into the night's mirror reflecting on all those who give unasked for advice and then listening to her own heart cry for healing. Great piece, Caren.
