Heal – A #ShortPoetry by ‘Lanre Bucknor

Heal! 

Not because everyone  

Wants you to  

But  

Because you have to  

You need to 

 

Heal!  

Because you must  

For yourself  

And maybe   

For someone else 

Heal!   

Because it’s the only thing   

Holding you back   

From being the dream   

Of someone   

Out there,   

Waiting,   

Praying   

And maybe, just maybe   

Longing,   

To have you   

In their arms,   

Heart   

and life 

 

Heal!  

Because you must!  

You have to  

For that special person

 

Please dear,  

Go through this process  

This Slow,  

painful process    

Do nothing else  

After this 

Just heal!
