This is no poem—it’s scripture etched from scar tissue.

Your words hold the kind of gravity that only comes from being stitched back together by something bigger than survival.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: You are not the darkness you’ve walked through. You are the map others will follow to find their way out.

And that last question? Yes.

That’s the sacred paradox of healing—when we help another rise, it’s often the first time we realize we already have.

Light doesn’t shout. It just keeps showing up.

With reverence,

At times Alek, I am lost on how to reply when presented with such beautiful insight into my words.

I am grateful for them and sometimes I cry when you and others comment so kindly.

A validation of triumph over the struggles I have been through but I never want to be seen or taken as showy or inauthentic.

It warms my heart it truly does.

I have learned much in this life I have been blessed to encapsulate. My goal... to be worthy to return to that source of love and feel that love once again.

Thank you for being a part of my journey ❤️

Its lines reveals so much depth to the wounding from which the healing is reeling.
