Am I Brave Enough? (Poem)
-
NB: Tomorrow is a big day for me. And I am sure questioning myself. I have a big assessment to look at how certain abuse has affected me. I know its not really a day where I face my past… but mentally it is. I have run from how things have affected me and for a long time through therapy I have accepted what has happened. I am looking at this as a bit of closure. I hope I can be brave enough.
Am I Brave Enough?
Its finally the day…
The day I face the past
Accept what has happened…
Try to a see further than just now.Am I brave enough?
I am just not sure…
I hope I can find the strength,
Its so hard not to run away.Running…
Safety was always first
Safety from the now…
And safety from what was.To change this…
I don’t know what that means yet?
I just hope I can do it.
Not just survive but live.I will try.
But I can’t promise anything
I hope I let no one down…
Especially myself.

I know this is a big day for you. You may find it challenging, but you will get through it, bravely! You have overcome so many obstacles in life, you have succeeded where others would have surely failed, and you have the support and love of people who believe in you and care for you backing you up every step of the way. Don’t let fear or anxiety hold you back any longer, take a deep breath, find your peaceful space, and step forward with all the strength and bravery that’s within and surrounding you to do what you need to do!
You are braver than you even know. I am very proud of you and ALWAYS in awe. <3
