WIP by Kristina Daniele I’m in pain. Mental. Physical. The result’s the same. Retreating into silence. Resting my brain. Taking deep breaths. Trying to reframe. Writing in my journal. Listening to myself. Trying to get centered But drifting to the left. I’m in pain. Mental. Physical. Emotionally, it’s the same. Stimming to reset Moving to get rest. Blocking out the world, And listening to myself. Trying to get centered But drifting to the left. I'm a work in progress. I'm not finished yet.
