Trauma told me I should’ve known better

 Trauma told me I should’ve known better

That I should’ve done things differently
That it was all my fault

But healing sounds a lot softer
It says I did the best I could
With what I knew back then
It reminds me I don’t have to keep beating myself up
For choices I made when I was just trying to survive

I’m learning to hold myself with grace
To be gentle when the shame creeps in
To forgive the version of me who was just doing her best

That’s what healing really is
Loving yourself anyway
