The Trip: A poem about healing

Let us take a trip,

sit back and relax,

please close your eyes and hear nature sounds bathing us in peace,

how do you feel?

what is worrying your mind,

that leaves emotional scars,

who or what is pulling at the last string you have,

that needs to be cut

can we please come back to reality,

your hands are starting to shake,

you left for a second,

where did you go?

Did I hit a nerve?

Did I bring up something that put you in that place?

It is okay,

it is all the trauma,

hurt, and pain leaving,

I know it hurts, and you don't want to face it all,

healing is one day at a time,

one trip at a time,

there will come a time when this trip will be easier to do,

you won't need a driver to take you there
