Pain and Healing, in Fragments

A Collection of Poems

if you continue
to mask the pain

you will remain

unable to
understand it.

whatever it is

that you run from

it will

follow you.

this is your time

water yourself
the way you have spent
years watering them

with unyielding dedication.

your greatest weaknesses-

make them

your contenders.
