Sewing Circle

Don’t think of your trauma as damage

You aren’t broken or torn

And these scars aren’t rips through your life.

Instead, they are the stitchings holding it together

Each experience a square sewn to the next

Arranging a quilt of your life

To look back on and keep you warm on your coldest nights

To remember what you have survived

To display for all to see

Who you are and what you’re made from
