Some say time does not heal
Instead you get used to the pain
But what if pain is not meant to last forever?
What if sadists restructure their techniques
And the pain that you’re oh-so used to feeling
suddenly dematerialises?
What if, as time goes by, you start feeling
unprovoked exuberance and euphoria?
Euphoria from life itself,
because it can be beautiful sometimes.

Painful scars heal when you stop touching the wounds
Painful scars heal with the help of your thoughts
Making your head a beautiful place to live in is a start
You live in your head on a daily basis
Make it a beautiful place.

Allow yourself to feel emotions
Allow yourself to replay episodes that hurt you
But only for a while.
Do not suppress your hurt
Do not suppress your anger.
Healing is not organised, it is chaotic.
Emotions and trauma can hit you like waves.
Corrupted scenarios may replay
Throughout your healing process
Taking you back to that dark place.
Healing is clumsy, it is not organised.
Trust the process
Trust the timing
Allow yourself to feel
Open up your heart and breathe
Pain is not meant to last forever
When you’re not a masochist
Allow time to play its course
And heal.
