Hello 
I hope you
enjoy the third and final instalment of the pain, suffering and deliverance
poem series. 
I find pain
hard to process, hard to see and even harder to endure. The damage is long lasting and feels like a life sentence. I always
wonder will I ever be free from my wounds of pain and scars of hurt. The daily triggers continues to haunt me, the memory that caused me to
lose my dignity to the flashback that once broke me. Adding fuel to my anger and rage, consuming and feeding my pain. The dark thoughts of revenge paralysed my hope
for a better tomorrow, adding to my despair. 
Seeing the
world’s pain through the human costs of conflicts, famine, child labour,
diseases and illnesses just to name a few. Led me to re-evaluate my own pain
and calls for me to have a fresh approach or outlook to pain. As I dwelled on what
pain means to me, a voice spoke over me to say, ‘When there are no peaceful endings, perhaps it’s time for a new beginning. Let it all mould you to walk forward alone, one
by one taking over the world. You will never be truly at peace, if you contine to hold on to pain.' 
As I mediated on those very words. I began to heal and not feel the pain in the way that I did. The pain no longer holds me because I now have the pain and it is not a part of me. A higher power than pain exists, which is light, only light can touch in places that is not visible to the naked eye. This simple act of love and truth not only reclaimed my life but transformed it beyond recognition. 
I love this quote below by Eleanor Roosevelt, as it also reminded me of 'You may not control all the events that happens to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them'. Maya Angelou.
