life was never difficult for me, not in theory, not really.

i made it difficult, 

no one will help me find any sort of source for this pain.

my life was always sweet and kind.

so i dont really understand where the thorns grew,

or how they managed to find me.

my mum told me that sometimes babies born from C-sections turn out different, 

because they dont get the nutrients they need from the birth canal.

i think maybe i have forced myself away from the things i need to live a good life. 

i can't figure out whether the ache came before the pain.

my life was perfect. is perfect. i am ruined.

Life has so many questions, so many theories, so few answers. So much of life is mystery, but as we age, little by little, we can get glimmers of insight as to why we are the way we are. Hang in there poet Nadia. Keep writing! Out of the ruins beautiful things can grow.
