Internal

One of the ways to stop internal bleeding

Due to trauma

Is to relieve the pressure through the creation of a hole

(for a brain bleed)

For so long, I had built up pressure

Inside my spirit

Trying to please everyone

Always do the ‘right’ thing

Always follow the rules

That it became unbearable

But through the brave words of a few authors

And a few friends

I began making tiny relief holes

By saying “no” and putting myself first

And to my surprise

My world didn’t collapse in

The pressure subsided

And now after a few inward “surgeries”

I’m the healthiest I’ve been in awhile

Thank you to my “medical team”

Doctors Glennon & Brene & Kaitlin & Rachel

I appreciate you more than you know
