Healing File









May my God 
care for memories 
that keep getting lodged
within the hidden places
of my heart.
May he help me tuck them
neatly away 
in my own healing
file labeled:
The Past.

Call me Resilience

What can I say?
As much as I try,
my heart is the same.
I need an overhaul
better yet, a removal,
and to change my name.

So that I am not me
But someone stronger,
And more resilient.
Instead of someone who
runs and hides and cries,
And sits in sentiment.
