It Shall Pass

October 10, 2012

I understand that it hurts now.

But one day, you will open your eyes & see that the wound has dried up.

The scar will remind you of so many things in between.

But the first and the last thing it should remind you of?

This: YOU ARE A SURVIVOR.

My fresh wound says, “Hi!” I got this in the course of saving the lamp from falling. But I have no idea what exactly scraped my palm. And yes, it hurts as badly as it looks. But I know it shall pass so I’m taking it in stride. So don’t you worry, my friend. I know you are tired, wounded and bruised. You have survived so many heartbreaking events in your life. And this one? This one you shall surpass too. You are a survivor, remember? ☺

Here's Joss Stone's live performance of Bruised But Not Broken to go with this blog. The chorus says:

And I'll be alright
And I'll love again
And the wounds will mend
I'm bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade
I'll get back on my feet
It's not the end of me
My heart is still open
I'm bruised but not broken
