There may be days weeks months or years
When all of hope will seem to be gone
And you will find your self
Knee deep in the broken shards
Of your lost or never fully put together life
How easy for me
Who is sitting calmly here
In a world bereft of such pain
To say you are insane
Or lack the will to go on
And how can I say whether or not
You will one day find the way
To arise and resemble again
No my friend
This I cannot do
As my heart is neither privy or wise to
The agony you endure
Nor knows the way to address
Deeper pain and real experiences
You may have lost the way to
And yet what I can do
Is speak as the one who spent years inside this place
And found a way back out again
And that is why I say
Please don’t give up
Reach out for help
Do not swallow down your pain
If you must
Then scream it out
Keep seeking for the ones who know and understand
How much it hurts
To be broken into fragments
And feel you will never be compete or whole again
And please listen when they say
This may not be the end
Just place of a painful transition
That leads your soul upon
A healing journey
Through which you learn to honour
All your fragments
Finding a way to accept
The broken open truth of you
“Keep seeking for the ones who know and understand, how it hurts to be broken into fragments”. A healing journey to learn to appreciate and understand the truth of you is a wonderful way to see it. Beautifully written ♥

Yes! As someone who has also gone through one horrible dark night of the soul.. I can see and hold space for someone going through it. Saying “you’ll get over it” really does not help them at that time. You are not them, you don’t know their feelings. But often it is indeed a transition and a cocoon phase!
