The Healing
Selfish if you don’t have children
Shame for reading romance novels
Get pregnant, Get left, it’s what happens
Be careful or it’ll be awful
Shave, don’t shave, it’s what you have to do
Your face isn’t okay
Crooked, uneven, askew
Walk this way, not that way, but this way, okay
An affair to remember, penalized if you stray
Spend money on you? Get clearance, get guided
Deliberately unsure if you’re worthy confided
Your hunger, your wrinkles are too much to take
The moans and the groans and the years of heartache
You’re the boss and I’m not
I resent it a lot
Bubble born and borne
Bear it alone
Terrified shelter
Distrusting bestowed
Elephants running
Stick jumping
Toothpicks winning
These comparison games
At one point
Your heart melts
It’s fire, it’s runny
You’re scooping your insides
And it ain’t cute honey
You struggle and push through the muck with no luck
The flailing the searching, the seeking, it sucks
Then one day you’re leaning, the wall is your shield
Given up, looking up, no way to be healed
The books, and the classes, the gurus, the healers
The yoga, the therapy, the diets, the kneelers
What you find is yourself
Intuition is true
You’re amazed to believe in all that you do
You’ve learned over time and gathered the bits
Put in the time now you’ll reap benefits
Heal yourself
Don’t say nothing
You’re beautiful…What?
There’s no moving back
You have dreams to pursue
Keep going forward
You’ve so much to do!
Spend money
Drink wine
Vacation
Eat time
Drive faster
Kill fearing
Be alone
You’re who’s steering
They’re crushed without you
But who’s splitting who?
You’re on your own side
Days wasted are through
Be open
Be pleasure
Be confidence true
Be sensual
Be giving
Be passionate too
Be frisky
Be fun
Be gentle
Hot-blooded
Be Deep
Be Different
Who’s up for new things
Vulnerable
Voracious
A wolf with great wings
