Take Me To Where I Heal

When I get too far gone,

and I shield my face from yours

and my ability to hold back tears disappears

lead me to the ocean,

show me how Mother Nature lets her water flow freely

and the day my insecurities get the best of me

take me to a top of a hill,

the wind will flow right through the spaces of me

and curve itself around the rest

reminding me of my wings and the freedom I posses

this is when I will begin to feel as a part of the universe once again

frustration will overwhelm me

and peace will leave me

and so when it does 

lay me down in a soft spot

I'll look up to the trees and see their shapes

remembering how through winds and rains they still grow,
 survive, and continue still to the next day

some are bent and some crooked

remembering how I can live like they do

bent or crooked

 withstanding the winds and rain

take me to where I heal 

and help me to remember

I am the universe bundled up in skin and birthmarks

take me to where I heal

so that I may see my scars in a different light

take me to where I heal

so that I may find hope again
