Dolor

My pain is not my responsibility to fix.
It’s been so hard to grasp that concept.
Because it’s miserable waking up in pain every day,
And then to be unable to make it go away.
But apparently the path to healing from pain such as this,

Is to accept you can’t do anything to fix it.
And only then can you heal.

    Stunning first two lines. Hope you are not dealing with this personally, but the authenticity of the voice is such that this seems likely. Best wishes in 2026

      I appreciate the sentiment and the kind words. It will be alright. I will get through it.
