Today’s The Day You’re No Longer Broken

Abuse Echoes

🌱 Seeded by CJB today

Another dream,
another nightmare.
In heartbreak,
weeded memories strangle.

Where power once posed as love,
a revelation bends toward light—
an attacking animal,
and you knew.

Recollections, reflections,
mirrored echoes of loss—
they crack, they shatter,
memories fragment.

It ain’t love
when it’s abuse,
woven tight
as a noose.

And still, awakening echoes—
the creak of rope,
swaying on thoughts,
circling hope.

Abuse was never your calling,
only a world silently screaming.
But now—
with godspeed—
your angel wings
reach outward.

Leaping into the life
abuse once hid.
Rejoicing echoes:
their control gone,
your voice returns,
a new type of song.

The horizon awaits,
as healed eyes open.
Today's the day,
you’re no longer broken.

Today’s The Day You’re No Longer Broken

"Abuse Echoes" holds a brutal truth many of us have carried: that in the aftermath of heartbreak, memories can feel like weeds, strangling every new thought. We get trapped in a loop of trying to untangle something that was never meant to be woven—a lie where power once posed as love.

It’s the most agonizing betrayal of the human heart, and it’s a pain that can make you feel utterly broken.

But the real, soulful truth is this: you were never broken.

The human-animal brain gets confused. It holds on to the echoes of what it thought was love and tries to make sense of the past. It sees the creaking of rope and feels the weight of the noose. But your soul? Your soul knows the difference. It knows that “abuse was never your calling.” It knows the lie.

The Soul Act of Reclaiming Your Power

The moment your MIND makes the revelation that an attacking animal is not love—that moment is the first Soul Act. It is a fierce and loving act of the SOUL saying, "No more." It’s the decision to turn from a trauma survivor into a trauma thriver.

It’s an act of radical self-love that begins to change everything. You begin to feel the echoes of awakening, not of pain. You start to untangle the noose, not with your hands, but with your core philosophy—your unwavering commitment to live a different way.

This is a journey. It’s not instant. But with every intentional breath, with every conscious choice, you start to grow something new. You begin to feel your voice return, "a new type of song." You start to see the horizon with healed eyes.

Where Power Now Unites

Power was never in their control over you. That was the illusion. Your true power is in the echo of their control being gone. It is in the sound of your own voice, returning to you. It is in the act of leaping into a life that was once hidden.

The path to healing isn't about forgetting the past; it’s about making a choice with your MIND to move forward, to use your BODY to leap, and to let your SOUL lead the way. It’s about taking the pain and using it as the compost to grow something beautiful.

The poem ends with the most important line of all: “Today’s the day, you’re no longer broken.”

It’s a powerful statement of choice. You choose to act differently. You choose to breathe differently. You choose to live differently.

So what's your Soul Act today?
