It’s so easy to fall off the cliff into victimhood
Looking at the depth below you
But it’s when you start to see the power in that
The power in dwindling on the edge
Even though it’s so easy to feel bad for yourself
today the view has changed
Today I choose to see the growth in the pain
The awakening in the depth
I choose to see the pain as my strength
The ache is my teacher
Because I’ve seen this before
And I know that when the pain is gone
it will have enveloped me like a butterfly in a cocoon
And I’ll emerge a new being
As a beautiful butterfly with big wings
So I won’t let it overtake me today
I’ll feel it
I’ll accept it
Embrace it
For what it is
My greatest teacher
It’s the power in the pain
It’s the sting that has made me who I am
Because i see now it was a transformation
It was the cocoon; the dwindling at the edge that was the greatest gift that’s ever been given to me

We all can relate to a poem like this but it’s harder for many unlike you to turn around from what’s brought them down. It seems to me, you are one the few to see positive out of the sorrows you been through were only for your growth.
We can’t grow without challenges, this is one of the hardest lesson I ever learned.
I’m impressed by those seeds of words you planting. It makes me like you because I’ve wrote similar words like this.
Be prospered,

I was raised to think like this. To use pain to improve myself. The sad truth is society is teaching and accepting victimhood and complacency as a badge of honor. To find strength from within is to have found true Strength.
