Today

I gave up 

On healing my trauma 

 

I gave up

On practicing the skills

To become whole 

 

Today I gave up

On evolving

Into that ever elusive

Better version of myself 

 

Today I submitted

To the wound of love

I stopped pointing at it

Looking at it

Soothing it

Tweaking it

Fixing it

Hiding it

Polishing it 

 

I stopped this game of separation

I crawled inside the wound

And spread it open 

 

I decided to wear it like a gown

I accepted my total and utter

Failure

To be anything else

But me. �
