Emotional Pain

Emotional pain is something we experience as humans.  
It often feels like a stab wound to the heart. 
A deep ache.  
One, at that very moment we think there is never a recovery. 
One in which there is no escape. 
I try to remind myself that we often experience that pain, because there was such a beautiful emotion experienced just as deeply, which caused that very thing. 
Something beautiful we can forever hold onto.  
Through this journey do we gain much strength.  
Strength we never knew existed, until that is all we have to hold onto. There is much tenderness, beauty and freedom in healing.  
Often we see change within ourselves. 
Something we think might be damaged forever, is only callused and ready to take on life,  
with a new clarity,  
a new strength, and new vision. 
I have learned to take on life, one moment at a time. 
Allow the painful moments to build positive strength, 
and fully embrace the beautiful moments as they are often …too short lived.
