Experience

Avoid pain,
Void experience.
Challenges strengthen your resolve,
Embrace what is,
Experience. 

Discomfort,
Heightens the senses.
Opens crevices once unknown,
New discovery,
Experience. 

I wrote this poem reflecting on the pain I'm tempted to avoid feeling in my left foot but know I must get used to. It made me relate to all times of hardship and how they're rich for discovery. Pain and discomfort are part of the journey.
