Stop looking back at the pain you\u2019ve known,
The hurt that cut you to the bone.
What\u2019s done is done, it\u2019s in the past,
But what you do next is what will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being hurt was never your choice,
But healing is where you find your voice.
It\u2019s hard, I know, to let things go,
But deep inside, you already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can\u2019t control what happened before,
But you can choose to suffer no more.
Each scar you carry tells a tale,
But they don\u2019t mean you\u2019ll always fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The past won\u2019t change, no matter how we try,
But you can change how you reply.
Instead of sinking in what\u2019s gone wrong,
Stand up tall, and find your song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose to heal, even if it\u2019s slow,
Little by little, let the wounds go.
The pain might still be there, it\u2019s true,
But strength is growing inside of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Healing is yours, it\u2019s in your hands,
To rise above, to take a stand.
Though hurt was never what you\u2019d choose,
In healing, there\u2019s nothing to lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, look ahead, not back in despair,
You\u2019re stronger than the weight you bear.
The choice is yours, this much is real
You didn\u2019t choose to hurt, but you can choose to heal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
