In the depths of despair, where shadows loom tall

 And memories haunt like a never-ending thrall

 There lies a path to healing, to find some relief

 Through the power of somatic movement, a balm beyond belief


 Trauma can leave scars, both seen and unseen

 It can shatter your soul, like a broken machine

 But through gentle movements, through breath and through flow

 You can begin to heal, to let your spirit grow


 Somatic movement is a practice so profound

 It connects mind and body, in a dance so profound

 With each stretch and each twist, with each gentle embrace

 You can release the tension, let go of the trace


 Of trauma that binds you, that holds you in chains

 With somatic movement, you can break free of the stains

 That mark your spirit, that cloud your mind

 You can find a way back to yourself, to leave the past behind


 The body holds memories, both joyous and dark

 Through somatic movement, you can make your mark

 On the canvas of your being, you can paint a new scene

 Where healing and hope replace what once had been


 You may start with simple exercises, with movements so slight

 But as you grow stronger, as you find your own light

 You can delve deeper, into the heart of your pain

 And through somatic movement, you can break the chain


 That keeps you tethered to the past, to the memories that bind

 With each breath, with each movement, you can leave them behind

 And step into a future, that's bright and new

 Where healing and wholeness are your due


 Somatic movement is a gift, a tool so divine

 It can help you reclaim what was once yours, what was once mine

 So if you're struggling with trauma, with PTSD

 Consider somatic movement, as a way to be free


 To dance through the darkness, to find some relief

 To heal from within, to release the grief

 That weighs you down, that holds you tight

 To reclaim your true self, to shine your own light


 So if you're ready to journey, to take the first step

 To embrace somatic movement, and let your heart wept

 Know that you're not alone, that healing can be found

 Through the power of movement, on solid ground


 Where trauma no longer defines who you are

 Where healing and hope are not too far

 Reach out, take my hand, let's walk this path together

 With somatic movement, we can weather any weather


 And emerge stronger, more whole, more true

 Healed from within, like a morning dew

 So let's dance, let's move, let's find our way

 Through somatic movement, let's seize the day.
