How to Heal?

Sometimes when you need to heal,

but cannot find the balm.

Step out and heal something else that’s broken;

give, and you’ll receive some calm.

You only receive once you share,

Get answered when you ask.

Your balm, eternal calm, waits between the cracks.

Your task—is simply to extract!

Extract your pain to make it another’s hope.

Let their recovery become your rebirth.

You are too delicate to be touched by yourself yet,

and healing comes by giving, before you get.

Like each breath is an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide…

Healing is a partnership; a transference of stress and joy.
