Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Witness To

I feel the pain and hurt resurfacing

buried deep to survive

I feel it in my stomach

I feel the tension

the ache

and nervousness

It is real

It must be felt

as a witness to my pain

That version of me

is deserving

of all my attention when she calls for it

And she is felt

as pain
