It takes courage to
Deal with pain
To process it
Feel it
Face it
And give it time to heal
It takes courage to
Not let it fester
Bury it
Inflict our pain on others
Let it become who we are
Pain that is ignored or denied
Pulls us apart
Messes with our mind
Prevents us from being whole and fully alive
Pain faced and dealt with
Strengthens us
Softens us
Becomes something beautiful
Gives others hope
