Hold on,
Pain ends.
I didn’t really believe it,
When I heard it at first.
But now I can see that it really is true,
Nothing is permanent,
This too shall pass.

One day, I woke up
And I went about my day,
And suddenly everything didn’t hurt as much.
I decided “okay, maybe I’m just in my happy phase”
“I’ll probably just go back to being sad in the next few days”
Now it’s next week and I haven’t cried,
I have peace
Is something wrong with me?
Am I getting worse on the inside?

In the end, it does get better,
But now I’m confused.
When you’re used to feeling a certain way,
New feelings can leave you feeling bemused.
I’m worried about this new found calmness,
I’m worried about this present peace.
Am I numbing the pain again, repressing painful memories,
Or is it really real this time,
And I’m too used to my pain to notice it.

I think I’m alright,
My story makes me feel uncomfortable but I can tell it without crying.
I think I’m alright.
She said those painful words to me again and they didn’t have any effect
I think I’m alright.
I’m making peace with myself and my journey
So yeah, I think I’m alright.

And it might not always be this way,
I’ll still have my bad days,
But they won’t out number the good days.
They’ll come and they’ll go again,
I think that’s why I’m so confident when I say,
In the very end,
I’m alright.
