The Part of Me I’m Learning to Guide

There is a part of me that once felt untamed.
It rose without warning, spoke without pause,
and often left me unsettled.

I feared it—
not because it was strong,
but because it was uncontrolled.

So I began the quiet work.
Not to erase it,
but to understand it.
To guide it instead of being guided by it.

I learned to pause.
To breathe.
To listen before I speak.
To choose gentleness when I felt sharpness.

When that part of me stirs,
I meet it with grace.
I guide it, not fight it.
I’ve made peace with the part of me that once felt like war.

Slowly, this part of me became less of a battle and more of a teacher.
It showed me patience,
it taught me strength,
and it reminded me that growth is possible.

I am still learning.
But I am no longer afraid.
I am guiding the part of me
that once tried to guide me.

This is growth.
This is healing.
This is me.

With a victorious smile,
