Not My Soul This Time

Happy poems

Finally, I'm starting to heal.

Pain no longer plagues my every moment.

The night stills brings its trials

But while the sun graces our land

I can stand straight and proud

Not hunched away from the source of my hurt

No longer do I numb my body with drugs,

No longer do I flinch away from being touched.

Not everything has healed.

It hurts to laugh

And I still wake in the deep hours of the night

Aching, crying, despairing.

But on the whole, my leg is getting better
