I’m a warrior and a healer in the context of sexual trauma - Poem by Andres Pellegrini

A poem about the intimate relationship of clarity and softness

…

I’m a warrior who fights with clarity in the battle of sexual trauma

With my body, my voice and my sword I move through the paralyzing shadows of sexuality

Stumbling, falling, rolling and rising again can happen in this battle and

The right dose of reflection may be helpful in this context

But my focus is and ever will be on the next step – because I know:

The next challenge in this battle will be different anyway than the last Everything that comes towards me is NEW

…

And

…

I’m a healer who touches with softness in the healing of sexual trauma

With my body, my voice and my feathers I fly through the paralyzing shadows of sexuality

Losing balance, falling, finding balance and ascending again can happen in this healing and

The right dose of reflection may be helpful in this context

But my focus is and ever will be on the next wing beat – because I know:

The next challenge in this healing will be different anyway than the last

Everything that comes towards me is NEW

…

I’m on the right and on the left and on the bottom and on the top and in front of and behind

I’m everywhere

As a warrior

And

As a healer

Yes, I am
