Fractured

by Untethered Therapy | May 31, 2023 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Fractured by Emberwing

The following poem was written by an Untethered Therapy client, under her pen name Emberwing.  The poem explores her journey from abuse and trauma through healing and recovery.  This client credits a combination of EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, and Neurotherapy for her ongoing healing from trauma.

The artwork is also original by Emberwing, created when the client was in college and discovered with renewed understanding as an adult on her healing journey.

Fractured by Emberwing Abused, alone, abandoned Devastated and defamed You can't have needs, that's selfish But the girl with no face has a name. Damaged, dismantled, disheartened Alive, but fragmented, maimed Convinced you'll never be mended There are exiles that must be tamed. The smallest one just needs protecting The Little needs freed from her pain The teenager needs reassurance That she can look up unashamed. The grownup looks back with compassion On how the narrative's been reframed Knowing cracks in her living mosaic Allowed the light to be reclaimed.
