How do you describe pain?
Do start from the moment reality set
Or your experience while in comma
Do you start from the first decision that led up to the point?
Or the catalysis of bad decisions laced with good intent?
Where do you start?
Where it hurts, or how it hurts?
The pain to the heart, or the pain to the mind?
Despair moored?
Perhaps, the crawling of the skin?
Or the piercing stares
The never-ending leer
Does it help to describe the hurtful memories?
Or the subconscious remembrance at 8pm every Saturday night
The tightening of the belly core
Or the jarring images that keep you awake
The feelings with associated memories
The sightings of the familiar yet distant
Words that trigger the crawl on the skin
Or the liminal space that confines
How do you heal from pain?
I do not know
But I do know life is for the living
And every second counts
So, I live how best I know how to
With faith and hope as armor
Anchored by belief that all will be well
