Love the Pain Away

 

I had it all wrong

Some wounds can never be cleaned out

That's the truth

No matter how much reflection 

Inner work

Solitude

I do

There's always a hardness

About me

That I recognize 

Caused by unbelievable amounts 

Of emotional and mental pain

I know I'm broken

I know no one can fix me

All I can do

Is love myself

To the best of my ability 

And show myself some grace

And maybe

One day

My days of remembering my pain

Will be balanced out

By the days I did my best

To love the pain away
