(words of comfort for those who are in hurting and in need of healing, from a counsellor and friend)
It's a hard thing to try and empathise
when the pain is not yours
to share the burden of not just the physical
but emotional and spiritual scars that you bear
at a time when you feel so low
that you feel you cannot pray
where was god when I needed him most
cannot be simply answered
especially when you dont have the answers
lost even more that I have to suppress my own tears
so that you can see I am strong for you
torn apart that I cant give you the hug
you so need to comfort you, human nature
forces transference when you need independence
to be strong and recognise your healing
comes between you and the divine
not more confusion
be assured that I cry too, as your pain is mine
that you are not alone and two pillows are tear stained
but also that you need a rock, an honest ear
when no one else believes you and thinks it
was your fault, when we both know it wasnt
you who asked for your boundaries to be violated
close your eyes and go to that island where the sun
is always shining and the waves lap gently against your feet
that place where you can start rebuilding you
strong not just for yourself but for other victims too
I am here but most importantly God is here
make that three tear stained pillows, clouds gently crying
from a divine broken heart
you are not alone, speak freely, but remember speak
only when you are comfortable to and when
you feel safe to do so.
It maybe tomorrow
but for today I would just like to remind you
that you are not alone
