Fusion

A search for normalcy,
After life has been shattered.
Finding authenticity,
Questioning what mattered.

Let go of past parts,
Of fragments you knew,
That were part of survival,
But are no longer true,

For your real self is rising,
Flying high from the ash,
Emerging from flames,
Forced to evolve in a flash.

When memories resurfaced,
Revealing your past,
The anguish released,
Your reality crashed.

While the pain is unbearable,
Your inner child needs you.
She is tortured by carrying,
What she knows to be true.

You’ve survived this already,
Though the truth hid deep,
Darkness shrouded your soul,
Making all parts of you weep.

Each day you are stronger.
You must keep going,
Fusing yourself and your dreams,
Which are constantly growing.

Out in the open,
The trauma’s revealed,
Freeing you now,
For your whole self to be healed.
