To heal is to see,
not simply look but to truly see.
To feel
all the edges
and the deepest corners.
And then to release,
to surrender.
To lower your defenses
and relinquish control.
For you cannot fight fire with fire,
instead you slowly deprive it of oxygen
so that it’s flames can no longer dance,
can no longer lure you into a trance.
Too see is to wake up from your slumber,
the deep sleep you’ve been in all your life.
