Stephanie Bennett-Henry – Pain, vision, stars
It’s okay to sit with the pain
for as long as you need to.
Sometimes we have to get
on our knees, carve out every
ounce of pain from old wounds
until it hurts us again and again
and only then when we soak up
the reason from fresh blood
do we understand exactly
what the lesson was for.
And understand, that sometimes
it was simply for you to see yourself
in the dark, so you can recognize
a new version of you that is capable
of shining bright enough
to bust the dark to pieces.
And now you don’t question
how the stars were made.
