To Find Power in the Broken Places

You are so much more
than you ever imagined yourself to be.
The light you bring forth matters.
The light you share with those around you matters.
Your tender, loving, gentle presence
is a soothing balm for the wounds of the world.

Do not doubt the power of your soul's light.
Do not doubt the essential role you play.
You are not here just to waste away.
You have embarked on a journey
to heal yourself and others,
and you have not been led astray.

Tune out the ego's constant dissonance,
and tune into the whispered wisdom of your soul.
Tune out the painful lies that lead to depression,
and tune into the truths that would lead you to freedom.
You were never deserving of the torments you went through
and you were never meant to identify with your wounds.

You were never the body which suffered,
but the soul bearing witness.
The wounds you endured
were meant to bring about a rebirth.
Be gentle with your soul as you rebuild yourself,
as you re-discover yourself.
Be patient as you journey to find power in the broken places.
