Sarah Smith’s Path to Healing

This space used to be empty.
It used to be dark and hollow.
It used to scare me.
It used to make me cry.

Now it has become my escape
My reason
My happiness
My peace.

This neutrality is safety.
It is how I know
Where to go
How to decide.

It has become my clarity
My compass
My anker
My guide.

It’s funny how
things can become
more than hoped
and less than thought.

It’s funny how the space
that used to scare me
has become the place
I seek to rest.

It has become my everything.
What scares me now
is the thought of
losing what I found.
