Hurts that haunt you

Have you ever had that one hurt that really did you in? You know, the one that stays in the back of your mind? You can be having a good day, and then a memory pops up, like a commercial that you can’t fast forward through. The same memory that once brought you internal joy, now stings your eyes as it rolls down your cheeks. You close your eyes, pray that with time it’ll stop hurting, but reality is that it will never leave you. You feel as though, you walk around with ghosts of what used to be your sanity, now haunts you. You had so much to say, so much to give, so much to show, so much love in your heart, but the world turned cold. Time caused things to fade, like the leaves in the fall. There’s nothing you can do, but literally take it one second at a time, one breath, one step, one smile, one laugh, and all while beginning to heal. You know that eventually, your heart will begin to feel what your head knows to be true. One day the hurts that once haunted you, will be a scar, a story, and a memory that no longer hurts. Until then, you stride to be the best person you possibly can be without fear of your future.

Keep fighting the good fight, your victories have yet to come!
