#: write a poem that meditates from a position of tranquility on an emotion you’ve felt strongly

[salovie]

Pain

ripe and inevitable

honest and raw

worthy and worthwhile

Pain

every second

hard-fought and hard-won

through a vise that felt like failure

Pain

its wild wind forced me forwards

in a frantic, impossible race

into the lead

tripping and screaming

across the line and fallen

into the light of

Love

relieved and delirious

healing and forgiving

perfect and forever
