I need you to understand
For I am human
Born for relationship
Needing to be seen as I am
And when you turn away or tell me
Do not tell me about your hurt
As “I hurt too’
What does that do to an innocent child
Struggling to understand
Whose hurt this is?
There are ‘spiritual teachers’
Who gain widespread appeal
Who may never have bought wisdom to
Their ancestor’s suffering
So they say its all a ‘story’
But then what of the core sentences of trauma
That speak of genuine hurt or neglect
That still lives deep inside our cells
Needing to be recognised
Do we just say it all
Lacks meaning and then
Mock the silly ‘ego’?
I do understand
All of your worldly success
Can never truly heal that deepest of holes
Inside your self
Only love can do that
So seek to understand before you label it
Only a story of the ego
For you do not really yet fully understand
Whose ancestral story it may be
For your own task
May be to slowly
Painfully
And carefully
Unravel it
Oh wow! This is so beautifully written Deb! I loved how it flowed! Xx
