Pain

Pain

Shards of glass sanded into skin

Spasms of involuntary twitching

As when flame meets raw nerve endings

Medicine vs Pain and

Pain usually wins

Because the only thing worse than this Pain

Is the humiliation of retching while the family watches

    People are like crystal
    Beautiful, fragile, imperfect.
    A shattered figurine cannot mend itself.
    It needs loving hands to put the pieces
    Back together.

    “And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.”

    – Robert Louis Stevenson

    I hope you find some joy…somewhere…soon.
    That poem was so powerful. Really good. But so full of sorrow. I don’t know if this helps or makes it worse. But I hope it helps.
