the fact that everything is a movement now
like the importance of self-love didn’t exist
before Instagram memes
like healing is a status update
like self-care ain’t a journey but a tweet
like healing ain’t a process but words we hang
on our Facebook walls
and pretend we ain’t cover trauma in hashtags
I see healing differently
mistakes are opportunities
failure is strength
and self-love and healing is a process
paths that we aren’t always sure to take
we become masters of ourselves
only to begin again
like a battle we don’t know if we’ve won yet
a journey, healing is
and we master the parts of ourselves
until there are no more apologies
in our throats
until everything we do doesn’t sound like
sorry
until we value ourselves like we do
likes on a post
until burden ain’t heavy no more
cause we learned how to carry it
until we no longer carry it
until we’ve struggled so long
we don’t know what quitting is
