Before We Can Heal

I turned the on switch off

as if it was as simple as that

I blocked out 

any idea that popped in my head
I stopped looking for answers in 

every coffee shop

and instead

I focused on myself

for once;

for the first time;

in my life

I was no longer in need 

searching for any and everything

to fill me

this void

remained empty

and as weird as it seemed

that was what was healthy

sometimes the emptiness

reminds us

we are human beings

with feelings

who need to actually feel

before we can heal
