Written for a friend who was going through a break up.
When we’re in pain/we sometimes want to numb it/to occupy our mind when we’re struggling to cope/when we’re fighting the negative thoughts/trying to keep our head above the water/minutes turn to hours/hours to days/days to months/months to years/
Some days you don’t want to feel anything/but you’re all caught up in your feels/the good/the hard/the trying to breathe/to keep yourself alive/when we feel like somedays we are drowning/others we seem to be treading water/seemingly getting nowhere/
To feel is to be human dear/to feel hurt/to try to mask is normal/but sometimes you let others see/no more needing to hide/no more needing to be timid/tender soul out in the open/showing parts that were previously hidden/thinking no one could ever understand/
To feel the pain is normal/doesn’t make it any easier/but placing the feelings in the open/may hurt a lot/and you maybe scared/sometimes there are other’s who can relate/maybe to a little part of the story/as you open your heart/you will find healing/it won’t come all at once/but each day will be a challenge/
