your trauma
does not define you
your pain
does not define you
what they did to you
does not define you
you are
defining who you want to be
life
so limited yet thousands and millions of options how to live it
life
so short yet countless things to do and to experience
life
so unremarkable yet millions of tiny little miracles happening everyday
look up
into the sky
the stars shine bright
for you tonight
let them guide you
through the darkness
and all the pain
until you see the light again
