Oh, If Only
<p>She’s learning not to flinch when her memories bite,</p><p>Learning to sit with the silence, even when it screams.</p><p>Her healing isn’t loud, but it’s there—hidden in the way</p><p>She chooses to breathe, even on days it hurts.</p><p><br/></p><p>She tries to forget the memories free,  </p><p>But every single scene just comes back haunting.  </p><p>Her mind’s a silent battlefield  </p><p>Where even sleep feels like surrender.  </p><p><br/></p><p>Always ready for what’s to come—  </p><p>Trauma, unhealing.  </p><p>Memories, unforgettable.  </p><p>If only the world could change its heart,  </p><p>Then she wouldn’t be this way.  </p><p>Wouldn’t flinch at kindness,  </p><p>Or brace for love like it’s a storm.  </p><p><br/></p><p>She’d love herself and treasure her heart,  </p><p>Embrace her defiance, for it makes her unique.  </p><p>No longer shrinking to fit their comfort,  </p><p>But standing tall, even with trembling knees.  </p><p><br/></p><p>Oh, if only</p>
