Beyond the Fixer’s Hands

Embracing Empowerment Over Co-Dependency

Don’t be the fixer of the world

The healer of all wounds,

The balm for everyone’s pain,

The lighthouse everyone seeks.

‌

One day you could be gone with a fleeting breath,

And those searching for your light will be left adrift.

Due to your excessive help, masked as love and care,

They will feel even more lost than before,

Hurt, broken, and unable to fend for themselves.

‌

So instead of trying to mend the shattered pieces in others,

Let them learn how to tend to their own wounds.

Offer them the bandages or even stitching needles,

But allow them the space to patch themselves up

‌

Don’t be the enabler of co-dependency.

The “fixer” who ends up leaving more scars

than actually healing.

As conscious souls, we are called to help.

To be compassionate,
