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.

Chris Boskovski September 24, 2013 at 12:01 PM 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 :) Sonia Convery September 30, 2013 at 12:51 PM Thank you so much for your feedback and sharing your personal experience. Stay strong and know you're not alone!
