the purpose of pain

lonelyraccoon

maybe I had to relapse

to realize just how much I wanted

to recover

 

maybe I had to live through

all those crises

to realize how much

I wanted to live

 

maybe it took looking

right at the end of everything

to realize how much I wanted to continue

 

maybe there was a purpose

in all that pain

 

.t.b.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I have figured out that the mental health journey is not a linear one. The worst moments are now the ones I value the most for their teaching and life-shaping moments.
