Every day is a poem. Poetry is therapy, whether you're
reading it, writing it, or simply evoking it in thought
patterns and perspectives.
Pain, both physical or mental, is part of life. It is what
makes us human; it shapes us the same as love. Through
poetry we touch the places that are too painful to linger in.
Be your own hero. Let your pain be a source of inspiration,
turn your heavy load into poetry, own it, use it, and take
as much from it now as it has taken from you in the past.
Embrace pain and burn it as fuel for your journey. You're
a dangerous person if you go through things alone and
come back better.
In our writing, we can uncover the how and why of our
pain, looking deeper into the process of its becoming, and
then we begin to dismantle it.
Turn pain into power, sadness into strength, words into
wisdom. Pain makes you stronger, heartache makes you
wiser. Let your pain become your power.
