When pain is present a lesson is looming.
You may not know why for quite some time.
The reveal may be subtle or grand.
The anxiousness and the heart rate booming.
Inadequacy inside feeling less than sublime.
Round and round just needing to land.
Familiar ✅. Tiring ✅. Gut wrenching✅.
Wanting to crawl and hide beneath the deck.
Can the pain be triumphed once and for all?
No, no you just get better at stopping the fall.
