EMBRACE WOUNDS
The walking wounded
Can take their place in the world
With shame and self negation
Or with dignity and humble strength
We imagine our wounds are the problem
But it is how we are with our wounds
Thats makes us strong or weak
Loving ourselves deeply
Completes the wound’s journey
And healing happens
Resenting and picking at our wounds
Keeps them alive
And clamoring for our attention
The only real choice is to face ourselves
And embrace ourselves
This is a wholeness
That includes everything.
