All Comments on 'Reluctant Healing'

such clever, relatable revelations

Beautiful and heart wrenching

WOW!! So provocative & deep. I love this.

"How dare you heal,

insinuate soothing on scars content to bleed!"

I love it, especially this line. The audacity of coming into my life and healing me!

*Author's comment here*- I love that you latched onto that line. I have a friend who is a SERIOUS slam poet and spoken word artist. She's been in the audience in a couple of the shows I have been in, and when a line hits her just so, if you listen closely you can hear her saying, almost under her breath, "shhhhiiiit!!" Her voice is one of those internal voices for me now, and the piece isn't quite right until I hear that shhhiiit! in my head. For this piece, this line is one of those major moments. So thanks for picking up on it. I love it when people find the little gems I hide inside a piece of writing.
