Harsh is the feeling I have
When you say
I should be
Some way
Other than my heart feels
Pain is the sense
You leave me with
When you say
My hurting hurts you
Because then what I feel it is denied a place
The adult in me knows
You cannot save me from myself
And yet when we truly show each other
Compassion, mercy and tenderness
All the pain is eased
And flows downstream
And when we say
That it should be another way
Whose will is this really all about?
It makes me want to scream and shout
I feel the way I feel
So maybe in future
I will be even more careful
Never to take the risk
To reveal it to you
Again
Emerging From The Dark Night 
You are right nobody can tell you how to feel or how to heal yourself. Only your soul knows this, their ways are for them. Your way is for you. They may have had similar experiences but the emotions, reactions, the impact of the issue or event are entirely different and you have to heal, accept and release in your way as only you know how to resolve the pain, trauma, the disharmony.
