Learning To Live With It

I used to think the Pain Would never Go away It was an unwanted Part of me Part of my bones Part of my soul I used to wish That I would die Not to stop living But to stop hurting My fragile world would Threaten to fall Apart Each time I heard “You’ll just have to learn To live with it” But the amazing thing is that I have - And now When the pain comes It’s still a part of me But it doesn’t control or Define me My soul wants to Live now And my world isn’t as Threatening As it Used to Be.

Tremendous Tremendous work you have her! I reflect so much to this poem, you don't even know how I am feeling right now! Many people think we can just forget pain like that, with a snap of a finger! Well I tell you, you cannot! I feel your pain and I share your experience!!! stay strong and everything with come into play, but pain such you and I have experience, is hard to drop, it is hard to forget! Foolish people around us think it is so easy to forget, when they never felt such pain! xoxo :)
