Healing

I'll let you in on a little secret
that many will never tell.
Once you've confronted your shadow
and gone through your specialized hell,
you come out on the other side
dazed and confused.
What happened to chaos,
always feeling the blues?
Waiting for the other shoe to drop,
what happened to looming anxieties
and worrying nonstop?

The truth is peace feels boring,
quiet and daunting.
The silence never ending — haunting.
Enjoy every moment that you've earned,
be proud of yourself and
the lessons you've learned.
