I wish I had the words to speak to set you free from a mindset of limitations rooted in the abilities and willingness of others, yet not in your actual needs. I wish I had strength to give you when you feel like moving forward requires you to dwell in the past, as if memories of strength are the only hope, and past formulas are the only answer. I wish I had courage to help your mind embrace what your heart already knows, that you don’t have to earn the right to reclaim your life, that the reclamation of the present can draw strength from the past, but within itself, look entirely different. I wish I had the inner peace to tell you that everything will be ok, that I had the audacity to rest in my own unexplainable calmness when chaos and fear distort my ability to see all that is good, all that is hope intangible, all that is our actual reality. Perhaps, your source of healing will come from the truth that I need you, that you are my strength, my courage, my peace. I wish you had the words to speak to set your mind and my mind free.
Hi everyone, Thank you so much for supporting my work. This week, I decided to let the poem speak for itself. I hope that you find strength and hope through my words, that you can see yourself and those you love through my writing in a way that empowers you and helps you feel loved and valued exactly as you are. I honor all that you are learning from the past, all that you are reclaiming within the present, and all that you hope for your future. Have a wonderful day, Susannah
