A Time for Healing

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it. ~ Tori Ames

It is time for revealing 

The hurt and start healing.

Too much effort has been spent 

Thinking of who you resent.

Take a stand and depart.

Then, make a new start.

The process may be slow.

It’s the past. Just let go!

No looking back and debating 

The old anguish and hating.

Through all the twisting and turning 

From life’s lessons start learning.

Walk forward! Go! Without a care!

The future is just waiting there!

This has a strong and relatable message that anyone, poet or reader, could take to heart. I feel that the musicality could use some tuning, for some lines go by too fast to sound pleasing. And with a poem this powerful, you really want to hit the right notes. Fiddle around with it. Everything is fine, everything works.....it's the musicality that is a tad sloppy (for lack of a better word). Well done!

Thank you so much for your comments! I took them to heart. This might not be what is wrong with the musicality of the piece, but I changed the format. It reads differently to me. I also changed a word here and there.

arranged like that, yes, the musicality has better flow. There are some odd little bits, but they're now too banal to mention. Yes, like this, it IS better. Well done!
