A Brighter Place of Darkness

by Baby Rainbow   Aug 2, 2015


I do not want to remain broken
for the rest of my life,
or remain in this dark hole
I find myself constantly sinking in,
however, I am realistic about knowing
that I will never be completely whole again.

I don't crave to be healed,
because I know so many of us never are-
yet we hope for happiness to find us
and we settle for the gift of just that.

I don't wish to be this idea of "fixed",
as if I will miraculously forget my past,
I just hope I can reach a brighter place in my mind
than the darkness that consumes me now.

    A feeling I know too well. I've come to the conclusion, thank God, that life is all about our mindset and choices. What we dwell on determines our actions and our words so if we fixate on the brokenness, broken we will remain. It's a tough pit to get out of, but having hope is the start of it. Fixating on a better emotion, something that makes us happy , then making a plan to get better and actually putting forth the effort really is what will help.

    Healing may be a never ending process, but the end product never has to be an eternity of brokenness.

    It sounds like you understand this beautiful, with your last line, it's really about the mindset. Find your happy place, it'll change your behavior, your speech, your life.
