Why You Write ? 6:42am

Someone asked me

how I made it through

so much pain ,

to be strong enough

to write about it.

And the truth is

I haven’t made it through it yet

I am still writing it

because it still hurt

And maybe it always will.

But this is how I turn the pain

Into something more.

And maybe one day ,

these words I write

will not have an ounce of pain

because the healing is stronger.

I will get there.

I hope you come too.
