I broke,
I struggled,
I strove until,
I reached the other side.

pain, it changed me forever.

Pain never lets go of you,
it always has a tight grip 
on your wrists to remind 
you how real, reality is. 

My demons befriended pain,
they conquered me again,
but, my fight wasn’t in vain,
all my demons were slain
the moment I gave the power 
to my pen to translate my pain into words.
