I’ve been through a lot of trouble, but woe ain’t me.
Woe looks in the mirror and says Joe ain’t me.
I can’t deny it. It’s no secret that I’ve been through a lot.
Amidst the turmoil I managed to win through a lot.
I’m not ashamed to admit I lived with the trauma.
Strength to get through the drama was a gift from my mama.
None of the ills I went through happened in vain.
I learned from every cut and bruise. I’m detached from the pain.
I’m the untouchable resource a foe can’t see.
I’m also not a sad story because woe ain’t me.

You learned from every cut and bruise. I did too. I just published a new story, https://shopping-feedback.today/humans/reaction-stimulus%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cstyle data-emotion-css="w4qknv-Replies">.css-w4qknv-Replies{display:grid;gap:1.5rem;}
