Painful Growth

A Poem Written By Vivian Ennis 09/23/2020

There is pain in growth while dealing
where there is a past there must be healing
There must be a new beginning and an end
To the life you live now and a past you must mend

There will be a time when you finally let go
of the pain in your past that has hurt you so
Just when you think you are all done with this
a new memory comes in that you may have missed

The healing begins again but deeper this time
as memories that you are healing start to unwind
Then feeling you once felt rip at your soul
will make you wonder if you will ever be whole

Don’t betray yourself in this process through the pain
to heal beyond your dreams you must stand out in the rain
Allowing the rain to fall along with your tears
if you are to overcome you innermost fears

Allowing wounds to heal that are hard to face
in this life full of memories you cannot erase
Facing the challenges that healing can bring
as you change your perceptions on everything
