Finding Healing in Pain
If I hadn't witnessed so much tragedy
I might have not become the person I am today
for I had to keep smiling
for those of the beloved ones that still remained
I smiled through the tears
as if drowning in them felt like floating on holy waters
and it had been like that for years
until my desire for being happy became broader
Realizing that my life was flashing by while I was crying
encouraged me to use my tears as a loop
and zoom into the parts of me that were dying
I gathered the pieces of my mourning dreams and built a troop
Insomnia really just woke me up
I had dreams that I had forgotten over 4,7,8 times
I learned how to move properly only after the paralyzing subscribed drug
I learned that I did not need to be born with wings fly high
I had to make of the enemy a close and only friend
pain blurring my vision did not cause it to worsen
Pain washed off what was weak and polished my strengths
Going through pain healed me become a better person
Pain taught me that nothing is permanent
and that fortune is for those who don't believe in the unfortunate
Pain healed even what I didn't know was broken
a sore though made me speak about all of the unspoken.
