words in the fog

our schedule.

living.
a lot easier said than done.
waking up in the morning taking your first deep breathe thinking,
i really have to do this again?
get out of bed, fix my appearance, go do what you need to: wether it be work, school, or parenting.
come home, clean, sleep.
all while being in pain.
pain that i can't express.
it's one thing after another.
pain on top of pain,
it's like you can't get away.
but no one tells you that.
this is me telling you.
you will be in pain.
you will hurt.
but it will be for a reason.
don't hide your pain.
embrace it.
pain doesn't make you stronger, it's what you do to overcome it that does.
