Journey Through Healing - By: Bettial Yisef

Sexual assault isnt something that you can just “get over”

No matter how many times it has happened it somehow replays constantly like how a human takes a breath


It's been years since it happened but i still can't get over what you did to me that October

From that night forward i don't think i was ever the same again


I still have never gotten closure

But my therapist says that “we can let our wounds heal or just pretend”

,

I pray that one day i'll look behind me

And see footsteps fading because of the person i'm becoming


The person I'm becoming is planting a new imprint in the fine snow.


Please give a detailed explanation about the meaning and main idea of this poem.


I wrote this poem is mainly just trying to say that no matter what happens or what people say to you, there's always a brighter side even when it doesn't feel like it. Also healing can take as long as it needs to, never try rushing yourself into something your not ready for,


Please explain your writing and thought process regarding this poem.


When I wrote this poem I was still healing and hurting from what happened, and at the time something that helped me cope with it was writing so I played some music and let my hands type the rest.


Why did you choose to write this poem?


Honestly, I don't know.
