the sun rises

i know now that

i too will heal

 

scarred i am

but not broken

 

i am not the person that i was

before the first sunset

that's okay because

as the sun rises

i am ready to own the day

 

scarred i am

but

no i am not broken

 

the sun may set once more

but i am no longer

afraid of the dark

 

i know now

that morning can come

when i least expect it

 

and that i too

can heal

 

scarred i am

but not broken

 

no i was never really

broken after all
