Every day, I have the privilege of witnessing people do the quiet, holy work of healing. I watch them show up with trembling hands and hopeful hearts, choosing courage even when the past feels heavy. Their stories, their resilience, their willingness to keep trying — it changes me. It reminds me that healing is not a straight line but a sacred return to the truth of who we are.

This poem is for them — for the ones who sit across from me and teach me, again and again, what strength really looks like. For the ones who think they’re broken when they’re actually becoming. For the ones who don’t yet see the light they carry.

This is my offering to you, a reflection of the beauty I witness in your journey every single day.

You Were Never Broken

You were never broken.

Not once.

Not even on the days you felt scattered like light through a cracked window.

What you carried was weight,

Not weakness.

What you survived was impact, not identity.

The truth is this: your spirit did what spirits do —

It protected you,

It hid what was too heavy,

It kept you alive until you were safe enough to come back for yourself.

Healing isn’t proof that you were damaged.

Healing is proof that you are sacred.

It is the slow remembering of who you were before the world taught you to shrink.

It is the gentle return to the self you abandoned to make others comfortable.

It is the holy work of choosing yourself in a life that once taught you not to.

You were never broken.

You were becoming —

Becoming softer,

Becoming wiser,

Becoming someone who knows how to stay with themselves even when the old wounds echo.

And now,

As you rise,

You do not rise as fragments.

You rise as a whole story — every chapter held, every scar honored, every truth reclaimed.

You were never broken.

You were always worthy.

You were always enough.

You were always on your way home.
