Louise Kerr- Healing
They promised time would heal
That anxiety would ebb away, draining
Into the continuous stream of life
That the body would recover, gradually
But the mind remains fractured
A broken mirror in need of repair, carefully
Piecing back together the personality
Each day an upstream struggle, drowning
In thoughts like sinking weights until
Someone sends a life raft, desperately
My saviour’s hand reaching out
A reflection of a future me
