IT FEELS SO DARK, THE SKY IS GRAY – PART 2

Posted on January 31, 2013 by Judy

I’ve had my share of hurdles in life. Sometimes, I wonder why challenges continue to nip at my heels; it’s been one thing after another for years.

The last line of my poem was, “How can my heart ever heal – when it continues to bleed?” I began to heal when I changed my thought process. I had to actually believe that healing was possible.
