For The Broken

by Shenaia Lucas

you are not your insecurities you are the strength of the mountains and the wisdom of the rivers

you are an alchemist turning sorrow into joy and graves into gold -the art of transmutation

the last step of healing is to forgive not those who hurt you for they are nothing the last step of healing is to forgive yourself.

it’s hard to heal when your mind has moved on but your heart is stuck in the past -the heart is a slow learner

let go of safety you will survive the fall -made of steel

you are not a damsel in distress you are the dragon and the world had better be ready -the dragon

don’t look down at your feet look up at the stars -directions matter

she was meant for the light
