Key to Surviving

I am all

cracks and fault lines,

a heart that

struggles through

each day,

waiting and

wondering

how I’ll survive.

I prick my finger

just to know

that I can

still bleed,

that I’m still alive.

Pieces of me

begin to crack,

threatening to

fall away

just to escape.

I need something,

anything,

that will

keep me moving,

keep me sane.

I thrive on knowing

that the key

to surviving is

understanding how

to withstand the pain.

Great write,,

Pains are a part of life.
hurt and healing.
embrace
or try to ignore
this discomforting feeling
we suffer
in minds misery
and body at work
to make us whole.
once again.

Thank you.
Indeed they are. All aspects…mind, body, soul. Pain is inevitable. We just have to learn which coping mechanism works best. <3
