Beyond the voices that taught me that I was broken. Unworthy or Difficult to love. Help me remember that. What happened to me was not my fault. The manipulation was not sacred. The control was not loved. The fear was not faith. At the shame. Was never mine to carry. I release the belief that I must earn love through obedience. Perfection, Silence, Or suffering. I release the belief that questions make me faithless, That boundaries make me selfish. Or that leaving would harm to me means. That I have abandoned what is holy. May my questions become doorways. May my anger become a protector. May my grief become a shield. Be given room to breathe. May my body learn. That it is safe to soften. To rest. And to belong to itself again. Heal the places within me. That still expect punishment. Heal the part of me that it didn't. Is afraid to trust my own voice here. Part of me that learned to disappear in order to be accepted. Remind me that I am allowed. To move slowly. I do not have to forgive. Before I am ready. I do not have to return to the spaces that harm me. Do not have to explain my healing to anyone else. Who refuses to understand my pain. Give me the courage. Build a spiritual life rooted in freedom. Honesty, Compassion, And choice. May I rediscover what is sacred without abandoning myself. May I experience love that is not threatened, Controlled, Or condemned. May I find community. That welcomes my whole humanity. My questions. My certainty. By grief. And my joy. My body and my spirit. I passed. And the person I am becoming. When old fears return. Help me place a hand over my heart and remember. I am not contempt. I am not abandoned. I am not beyond healing. I am loved. I am supported. I am always enough. May healing come gently. May peace. Return gradually, May trust grow one breath at a time. And may I remember. That the divine. If I choose to believe. Is not found in the voices that harm to me. But in every moment that leads me back towards love. Towards freedom. And wholeness. And so it is.
