Healing

But if you only write when your feel broken, 

My dear

How will they ever know you healed? 

 

I didn't heal. 

I didn't "bounce back"

I didn't move on.

 

I forced myself to keep going.

I forced myself to stay alive "til tomorrow"

I forced myself to get up and feed the cats.

 

I never moved on.

I simply forced myself to keep going long enough 

I simply forced myself to stay alive until "tomorrow" never came again 

I simply forced myself to get up and feed the cats until their begging for food became the normal start to my morning. 

 

If I only write when I'm sad.

People will simply know

I will never heal. 


The author's comments:

Sometimes the idea of moving on is harder then staying broken. Because if I've moved on, I forgot them. So I never move on. I never heal. I just learned to live with the pain long enough for it to stop hurting as bad.
