A poem from my birthday month last year.
I will own my wounds
I will bind them up
I know now its not your place to heal them for me
But I also know that without love and compassion from outside
Without that empathy, understanding and tenderness
It is much harder for us to heal
We need each other’s love
So let us love
Let us give
Let us open
Let us trust
And let us let go of that which hurts
And of those who in hurting so much
Hurt us too
Let us remember
That they too were hurt
In ways too painful for them to remember
And that now they are lost
Even though they do not realise it
Only love
Will help us recognise the truth
That some people find it so hard
To find love for themselves in that hurting place
Emerging From The Dark Night 
A beautiful poem that I really relate to, for me it’s about trusting and being willing to be vulnerable enough to love but also taking responsibility for our own hurts. Something I struggle with.
