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>
