I believe healing is comprised of these three processes
Mending, restoration and wholeness
Healing happens when we acknowledge the wrongs we have done
As well as those that have been done to us
Healing happens when we forgive ourselves and others and we make amends
For only then can real mending begin
The journey of healing is far from easy
It can be messy, it can be exhausting
It can feel like two steps forward and five steps back and honestly
Sometimes we're left asking ourselves if this painstaking journey is truly worth it
But in order to restore to a state of health what is sick or broken within us
We must stay this course
We must be vulnerable and true to ourselves and be honest about where and why it hurts
For in all of this will we find strength to proceed on the way to wellness
So, allow yourself heal
Take all the time you need to
For this journey of healing need not be rushed
Take hold of the hands stretched out to you
I promise you will need the support
Oh, we owe it to ourselves, we owe it to ourselves to heal properly
We owe it to ourselves to heal physically, emotionally and psychologically
We owe it to ourselves to heal and remain whole
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
