She is there somewhere
Deep inside
Waiting for you
The girl you lost the way to
The one with the open heart
Who knew what it truly was
To love and to long and to dance
For all of those later years
When the trance of trauma took you
So very far away from her
Still you were inside your deepest self
Longing so much
For the missing vibrancy of
Her life and love and fire
Now sometimes you are so close
Even as you feel her confusion
You wrap these strong arms of love
Around her
Do not let her go to ground
Or sink deep into mists and seas of delusion
For maybe she is the brightest part of you
The girl you lost the way to
All of those many many years
Ago
Emerging From The Dark Night 
This is absolutely beautiful. I really connected to these words. 💕

I just read it in therapy and totally broke down..so much of the real me was obliterated by forces in the culture and my family growing up. I want myself back.. I need her so desperately.

That is a feeling I know too well. I hope sharing it in therapy created some space for healing these parts. 💕
