What is healing

But the acceptance

That you will always hurt

Everything

Is happening in your mind 

To see the world

Complacent in the inertia

Of your life

You take a step outside

Spend a day

In a completely alien environment

See life at a right angle to yours

Contemplate

Ruminate

Have epiphanies

The ripples of which

Last your lifetime

And even years later

When you look back

The day shines like a gem

In a string of mundane

Nondescript days

Still sloughing off

Meaning after meaning

And you realize

What it means

To step outside

Of your comfort zone

And start doing it more

Until

You spend

So many years

On the road

That that becomes your life

And you have nothing

To go back

No complacence

No such thing

As the regular

The average or the base

What is the balance?

Downhill

Everything looked well

And she had

All the comforts

She could have asked her

Only that her dreams

Were only of

Walking

Spiralling

Sliding

Falling
