It's Not About Changing Who You Are

Poem Artwork

Healing is not about changing
who you are on the inside,
but about finding your inner star;
learning freedom in the search for self.
Ah, if nothing else, you come to
change those actions you
perceive as defense, into words
and a language that makes more
sense to one's heart.
To start a new road, to learn
to recognize soul and to see
through spirit eyes, the quick
demise of darkness.
Harken to the call of your heart.
Listen to the voice of the wild
within, learn to win the affection
of your own inner child.

Healing is not about changing
who you are on the inside,
It's about learning to perceive
that what you believe needs
alteration, because it rises contrary
to truth that lives within you.
Repeat behaviour that is
detrimental to the well-being
of one's spirit, to let love near
it is to help with the scars of yesterday,
as you learn to play again
within the garden of your heart.
To run free with wild abandon
in a meadow filled with sunshine
will e'er help to soothe and calm your fears,
until the tears of the past catch
up once again and wash over
you with the painful remembrance
of what was lost.

Healing is not about changing
who you are on the inside,
It's about learning to take the
wisdom from the lessons of today,
and finding your way through the sorrow
that lives here, ever clear within the
memory of your caring; and still despairing
we try valiantly to stand again and not fall,
to rise up against adversity, stand tall
against the challenge, never knowing
if we can make it through the darkness.
Oh, sing that you are whole and free;
and dance that your eyes are able to seeclearly and without bias this love before you.
Whole love, warm love, willingly come
to wrap you in the tenderness of her brilliant wings...
And to you a lullaby this heart shall sing.
