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.
