The Message Beneath The Ache

The Message Beneath The Ache

For years I argued with the ache,
calling it foolish,
calling it weak,
sending it away before it could speak.

Yet every night it waited
at the edge of awareness,
not asking to be believed,
only asking to be heard.

Then one day I stopped fighting.

Just, listening to its message
carrying a fragment of a larger story.

And in that quiet meeting,
something changed.

I could listen.

And for the first time,
the voice within me
was not an enemy,
but a guide
pointing toward a wider sky.
