I don't want to pretend that everything is okay. I don't want to act like nothing happened. It hurts and I need to acknowledge that it's there. This isn't just going to disappear if I pretend it's not there. This pain demands to be felt. It will not stop pounding on the cages around my heart. This pain is not unbearable but unwanted, unnecessary yet somehow necessary. This is not something that can go away, I must face this head on with courage as my army. I will fight this pain on my own because it is my pain and not anyone else's. I can and will do this, without the help of anyone. I stand alone, brave, broken but ready.
