The Nectar of Pain

by Najwa Zebian

Some spend a lifetime healing, and some spend a lifetime wanting to heal.

there may be stages of healing, but cleansing yourself of the pain day by day, hour by hour, and second by second is the real struggle.

It turns out that not every song is worth singing, not every mountain is worth climbing, not every race is worth running, and not every war is worth fighting.

My father’s love for me has drowned the oceans to raise me into the woman that I am.
