SUNSHINE AURA – self-esteem. self-love. self-actualization. 

Etched on my heart, invisible to the naked eye

Layers of flesh and muscle and bone

Covering a multitude of scars

Some lie deeper with thick re-growth

While others have faded over time

And I mostly am unaffected now

Unless there’s a trigger

With the ability to reach back in time

To make the past the present

When that happens it feels like a drum

Hammering away at the healed parts

Trying to break me back open

To let the blood flow freely again

But I am strong now and this is rare

So what I’m trying to say to you is this:

Hang on, for the pain will not last forever.
