Face It

Slow down, relax, feel, and be.
I don’t know how.
I don’t want to.
What will surface?
What will I see?

Let it come.
Open the gates.
The good, the bad, the ugly.
Only I can relate.

There they are.
All the things I avoid.
The feelings. The pain.
But mostly the scars.

Expose them.
Acknowledge them.
Nurture them.
Love them.

Free me of the hold.
Open my heart.
Move me on.
Make me whole.
