I am Allowed to be angry.

Education is everything, just because you can’t see an injury or illness doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,

‘I will try again tomorrow.’”

— Mary Anne Radmacher

Words I Hear in My Head

The words I hear,

screaming at me,

starting at the crash—

what feels like the start

of the end for me.

Trying to stay strong,

but I can’t stop the tears.

Words in my head

saying pain is all I am.

Words in my head

saying this is the end.

Words in my head,

destroying slowly.

The words I have,

screaming at me.

I try to quiet them

with medication,

meditation,

and word therapy.

But pain is destroying

all connections,

all grounding.

Pain will be the end of me.

Taking everything.

Words will win.

Terrified.
