The thorns
Of grief and woe
Of trial and misery
Of shame and doubt
Of darkness, hopelessness, helplessness
The pain
Of laceration
Of piercing
Of lancing
Of pressure, puncture, sunder
The relief
Of baggage
Of irritation
Of criticism
Of angst, distress, mistrust
The freedom
Of peace
Of hope
Of faith
Of the scarred, healed, restored
