self love.

how do you repair yourself after the war without patience

how do you handle the nightmares of trauma without a glass of water next to you or a tight blanket to remind you that sometimes the trauma misses you too

how do you remind a war veteran that is living with you that it is just fireworks and not gunshots

they both shoot towards a target

they both explode what is left

leaving remains of the forgotten

how do you tell a survivor that what they fought for was in the name of love while you bandage their scars bloody guts and all

how do you relax the muscles you used to pull triggers on the attackers while you are facing the mirror

how do you sing gospel songs of praise when you felt no god by your side

how do you love a war veteran still in combat

The saddest moment is going to self harm and realising you have to look for clean skin to cut...
