Stick in the Eye
Pain keeps its promise.
Pain keeps its promise.
I’ll be fine.
But this mantra is neither present
nor leaping forward nor a prayer.
It’s a lie.
So, to the onlookers who turn to stare and to those who step closer to comfort, remember this:
Meaning doesn’t make loss heavier for us.
It makes it real enough to respond to.
Great challenges gnaw at the shores of the riverbank. But those waters will not sweep me away.
My roots are deep.
They are strong.
