Dear Survivor,
You are safe now.
You are free, and you can
Be
All the parts you tucked away, buried
hidden from the drip of cynicism
And the explosions of rage
Those sudden bursts of venom that stole your shine
The antidote was your courage and your refusal to cower
You glow, my darling.
You hid away the tender pieces of your heart
Waiting
Hoping for rescue
struggling quietly, unseen
Call these things forth
into the light
You are safe now,
out you come
Speak.
Your voice is a beacon
A powerful force to push away darkness
You are brave
and
You are free
It is safe to flourish now
Your love and your tears are growing
a harvest
of strength
of truth
of delight and dancing and deliverance
