when that light turns on,
when you believe the self-reflection,
what it tells you, what you see,
I hope you find the help you need.
We are not put here
with the
wherewithal to heal,
or express how we feel.
One generation can't teach another
when they weren't taught to deal
with the single hardest thing there is to do:
confront our trauma
before it spreads from me to you.
There is no guide
to explain
this cyclical pain.
And standing up to it can feel
like standing in front of a train
moving at full speed,
hoping that you'll be
the switch track you need.
But please...
Know that to not know
is completely okay,
as long as you seek the answers
to the questions that keep you at bay,
on the edge of pride and peace,
I hope you finally can begin to find relief.
