The Button

Within reach for most of this life
Now becoming faded in the distance
As self- worth is being learnt
The action of pressing The Button becomes less urgent
The want to harm and punish becomes less needed
A choice is made, a behaviour changed
But when you think you are mastering what lightens the heart
Something, what?!
Lets the darkness seep back in
That old mindset that makes you reach for The Button
The newness loses its strength
It becomes infected
The choice to heal this infection is there
The choice to eliminate The Button is there too
The action to heal is being taken
To see The Button disappear would truly open the heart
