The Healer

The Healer

A Poem by Abby

What do you search for in times of healing?

For some it's the bottom of a bottle, for others it's a new passion

You may look for souls who make you feel validated

Or for something that makes you feel worse, in order to mask the pain


After awhile, you start to think that it's working

Experimentation has brought you a new vice

One that only you have control over

But you fail to see what is truly healing you


It isn't the rush you get from a drug

Or the importance you feel when intimate with another

But rather the one thing that has been passing you by throughout it all

That which defines our very existence

This speaks a lot to maladaptive coping (when someone uses an unhealthy substance, object, or habit to cope with something).
