It is wisdom to deeply understand
That sometimes there is no more to be done
You have fought the good fight
You have defended, been the aggressor,
      tried to turn the tides...
      used up everything you have...
to understand you must withdraw

Sometimes it is the accumulation of all these efforts
There is not one final blow
That causes the retreat

This is true power
     knowing when to walk away
True strength
     knowing when things are futile

Writing is my native tongue.  I have written for every reason in my life. To heal from deep wounds, living and surviving childhood emotional neglect and abuse, generational trauma, to express joy, to see myself through darkness, to celebrate how beautiful life is.  How simple and pure.  I used to write just for me. Now I share, let you in, because I feel it may be helpful. Maybe you will see yourself in these writings too.  Whatever you take away, know you're worth every step of your incredible journey to the greatest of heights.
