you won't hurt me anymore!
Balance.
You're at an amusement park.
Your friend's father died recently.
You,
and her,
and so many other friends
are there,
with you,
trying to cheer her up.
She isn't being very cooperative.
She's sniffling
and crying,
and moaning
and lying -
I feel great.
I'm okay.
I don't need anything.
But then,
then you see that one ride,
the huge,
twisting,
looping,
incredibly fast ride.
You know how to cheer up your friend.
You cover their eyes,
and lead them to the entrance of the ride.
You slowly guide them into a seat.
The ride starts.
You chug away,
slowly,
slowly.
You reach the top
of the highest peak
on the ride.
You take your hands
off her eyes.
She looks.
She sees.
She gasps.
The sheer height,
the warmth of the sun,
the rushing wind
makes her smile
like nothing before.
When the ride is over,
she looks into your eyes.
You know that she knows -
pain doesn't go away;
pain can't be eliminated;
pain can get worse;
but you can overcome it.
You know that she knows -
pain is just weakness leaving the body.
If you can overcome that
without losing your heart
Schrödinger

10 curiosities:
No one can overcome anything along though. Stop hiding your words. We're here to help.
...I can't believe you linked The Morning Hunter.
But I suppose it fits, though it's a tad optimistic, even for me.
I love that song. XD
:( Please be okay, Schrody. I don't think I could live with myself if we lost your gloriously strange, wonderfulness.
I'm fine, I just...I'll be fine. I have all of you.
I love you.
Thank you.
You're so welcome.
That was beautiful.
Thank you.
You're mad and wonderful and you've given us hope, because you remind us of how to smile. Stay safe.
Schro... Schro, you're ok! :D I'm so sorry I haven't checked on you sooner, I feel so bad... You are wonderful. Wonderful, and mad, and kind, and hope. You're our hope.
