The Wounded Healer

14 January 2022

I’ve lived through sorrows

I’ve lived through pain

I let others share their burdens

And have no shame

I was born to feel

And guide a path of transcendence

Sometimes giving me energy

Sometimes leaving me torn with repentance

Working with the wounded

Is a calling to my soul

Sometimes I come into the studio tired

And leave as good as gold

Everywhere I meet humans

I have a yearning to connect

In the most authentic way possible

Without a tinge of regret

My past traumas have shaped me

The highs and the lows

It has taught me that in life

We need to go slow

Every soul I meet

Is a give and receive

An invaluable exchange

A moment my heart will never forget

To meet people who are so vastly different from my culture and beliefs

Somehow finding similarities

Over several cups of coffee and tea
