Reflection of Growth



When overcoming one's pain,
Nothing about it can be plain,
It's like untangling a rope,
You may want to quit but just have hope,

As progress begins in the right direction,
You will begin to feel that of insurrection,
For your past self was in too great a pain,
And now it all seemed as if it was too plain.

About this poem

I wrote this poem as a comfort tool to remind myself that even when I'm making progress I must continue or the cycle will repeat.
