Poems About Healing
Trauma
Author: S. Ellis
A journey through the pain,
The trauma that cuts like a knife.
But through the darkness, a glimmer of hope,
A chance to heal and come back to life.
The wounds may not disappear,
But the hurt begins to fade.
With time and love and care,
The strength to move on is made.
It's not an easy path to take,
There will be moments of despair.
But with the help of those who care,
Healing is possible, beyond compare.
So take a deep breath and hold on tight,
The road to recovery is long.
But with each step forward, a new ray of light,
And a new strength to carry on.
Healing from trauma takes time,
But it's a journey worth the climb.
For on the other side of the pain,
Is a brighter future, free from the strain.
Hope
Author: D. Glazier
Hope is the light in the darkness,
A beacon shining bright.
It guides us through the shadows,
And gives us the strength to fight.
Hope is the seed of healing,
Planted deep within our hearts.
It grows and blossoms within us,
As our wounds and scars start to part.
Hope is the voice of reason,
Whispering softly in our ear.
It reminds us that we are stronger,
And that healing is always near.
So hold on to hope, dear friend,
Even when the road is rough.
For it will lead you to healing,
And a brighter, joyous stuff.
So take a deep breath, and let go,
Of all the pain and fear.
Embrace the hope that surrounds you,
And watch your healing appear.
Heartbreak
Author: J. Mutton
Heartbreak is a wound that cuts deep,
A pain that lingers and never fades.
It feels like a part of you has died,
Leaving you empty and alone in the shade.
But even in the darkest of times,
There is a glimmer of hope to be found.
For healing from heartbreak is possible,
Even when your world has come crashing down.
It's a journey that won't be easy,
There will be tears and heartache along the way.
But with time and love and support,
You will find the strength to heal and to say:
"I may have been broken,
But I am not defined by this pain.
I am stronger than I ever knew,
And I will love again."
So take it one day at a time,
And never lose faith in the power of love.
For with every step forward,
You are one step closer to healing, my dove.
Sickness
Author: A. Burns
Sickness can take us down,
Leaving us feeling weak and tired.
It can drain our energy,
Leaving us feeling uninspired.
But even in the darkest of days,
There is a light that shines bright.
It's the light of healing,
Guiding us through the night.
It's a journey that won't be easy,
There will be ups and downs along the way.
But with time and care and support,
We will find the strength to heal and say:
"I may have been sick,
But I am not defined by this pain.
I am stronger than I ever knew,
And I will rise again."
So hold on tight and don't give up,
For healing is just within reach.
With every step forward,
You are one step closer to health.
Grief
Author: M. Shirley
Grief is a heavy burden to bear,
A weight that seems impossible to lift.
It can leave us feeling lost and alone,
As if our world has suffered a rift.
But even in the darkest of times,
There is a glimmer of hope to be found.
For healing from grief is possible,
Even when our hearts are torn to the ground.
It's a journey that won't be easy,
There will be tears and heartache along the way.
But with time and love and support,
We will find the strength to heal and say:
"I may have been broken,
But I am not defined by this pain.
I am stronger than I ever knew,
And I will love again."
So take it one day at a time,
And never lose faith in the power of love.
For with every step forward,
You are one step closer to healing, my dove.
Depression
Author: E. Blythe
There once was a man feeling blue,
Depression had clouded his view.
But he found the strength to fight,
And with time and love, he saw the light.
He took small steps every day,
And slowly but surely, he came to say:
"I may have been broken,
But I am not defined by this pain.
I am stronger than I ever knew,
And I will rise again."
So don't give up, don't lose hope,
For healing is possible, as he could cope.
With time and love and support,
You too can find a way to heal and sort.
Your life out, and find your way,
To a brighter, happier day.
Healing Love Haiku

Healing love, gentle breeze
Blowing away the pain and tears
New beginnings bloom
Abuse
Author: S. Bunker
The weight of abuse can be overwhelming,
Leaving us feeling lost and alone.
It can shatter our sense of self-worth,
Leaving us with feelings of worthlessness prone.
But even in the darkest of times,
There is a glimmer of hope to be found.
For healing from abuse is possible,
Even when our trust has been torn down.
It's a journey that won't be easy,
There will be moments of doubt and fear.
But with time and love and support,
We will find the strength to heal and clear.
We are not defined by the abuse we have suffered,
We are so much more than that.
We are survivors, we are strong,
And we will rise above.
So hold on tight and don't give up,
For healing is just within reach.
With every step forward,
We can find peace and regain our sense of self.
Strength
Author: C. Robbins
There once was a person so strong,
Whose healing journey was far from wrong.
They faced every challenge with grace,
And found strength in a better place.
They stood tall and proud,
Their head held high.
They knew they could overcome,
And never again would they sigh.
For healing is a journey,
That requires time and care.
But with a little bit of strength,
We can overcome any dare.
So don't give up, don't lose hope,
For healing and strength are within reach.
With time and love and support,
You too can find a way to heal and breach.
The darkness and emerge, shining bright,
Ready to take on the world with all your might.
