🪷 How You're Emerging toward Light

a poem for my friend

Your mind grew in danger, 
  right from the start,
so it had to grow armor,
  a shell for your heart.
Now you feel stuck, 
  heavy, and doomed.
(You don’t see your beauty 
  and strength, as I do.)
But habits are broken 
  one crack at a time;
and healing’s like wind 
  you feel more as you climb,
fresh in the cracks 
  that once were sealed tight.
Though it hurts, this is how
  you’re emerging toward light.
