Honouring your fragments

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
