It’ll hurt for a while, this pain of mine.

I feel like I’ve been mentally electrocuted in my core, stampeded again and again.

It’ll be a while to heal, I’ll move on.

Find the right place for me, and be me.

It’s a strange world we live in, and it’s only showing itself now.

How cruel it can be, but how necessary that cruelty is.

I can only live on, and take it like a man.

So bring it, bring your worst.

I’ll be standing after it all, because I’m ready for anything.
