A Journey through Pain
When I look in the
mirror
I ponder exactly what I see.
A girl that has been hurt
stares blankly back at me.
Sometimes she is unsure
of what she’s all about.
But in time she will learn
to embrace the pain she cannot live without.
Pain becomes a core
of who you are.
It may lay dormant but
it’s never that far.
It begs you to take
each initial step.
Within the boundaries
of embracing every
tear that you wept.
It teaches you
that loves are here then gone
But in between the heartache
pain teaches us to move on.
You may tell yourself
it’s not worth going through
the difficult stages.
But it makes one stronger
& you appreciate all of
the different phases.
You find an outlet &
learn to move on through.
You see a facet of yourself
that you never knew.
