I want to be the mum that I needed
The dad that I craved
How I ached in his absence
How I wish he had stayed
I want to be the brother that I idolised
The Nan's whose wise stories wouldn't fade
How I wish she noticed my bruises
How did they not see my pain
I want to be everything I needed
I will wash away the pain with tears
Holding my own convulsive hand
As me and my younger-self confront my fears
Winds whispering truth
Raindrops of healing
Sunrise and open eyes
As I awaken with the earth
And accept every feeling
I'll be the loving mother I wanted
I'll be the protective father I craved
I'll look up to myself
And be the queen of the stories I make
I'll be everything I wanted
As my healing tears speak open truth
I'll tell myself I will be okay when I am scared
I will not neglect my needs with a hoof
I'll horse around when I am not feeling stable
Promising myself that I am always able
As I dance in the raindrops of my healing
Never judging myself for any of my feelings
