The pain was too intense the very first day.

I felt nothing else,

nothing but the stinging pain.

I tasted nothing but my own salty tears.

And my vision became blurred

I felt blind.

The second day, I was sore,

A broken mess of shattered dreams and lies.

I fell in a pit where I could not reach out to others.

I broke before my very own eyes,

a pitiful sight.

The third day, the pain left.

I felt numb, like my heart stopped working.

The darkness embraced me again,

bringing little comfort.

The fourth day, I healed just a little,

as every tear of mine,

rushed out of my eyes,

I was left with an ache that tore my heart apart,

I felt each tear.

The fifth day, I felt raw.

I hated every inch of myself.

My thoughts ran after each other,

like a very violent train.

Nauseous, each wound of mine opened.

My mind brought fresh pain,

a new kind.

I dreamed about nothing but darkness and pain,

Once sweet dreams now became nightmares,

and I couldn't escape.

The sixth day, I tried to shut my mind,

but failed, hopeless.

I tasted pain even on my lips, that trembled.

And felt too many tears leak from my eyes.

The seventh day, I felt hope,

so little that it made me cry,

rivers of tears rushing out of my eyes.

My heart still ached, but a little less.

I felt sore, but somehow, that hope,

it made me smile.

And somehow, the pain left,

and I thought, "I can be okay."
