Weekly Journal Prompt: “If pain could speak, what would it say? And what would you say back?”

Whether you believe in God, the universe, or just the quiet power inside yourself—you’re still here, and that matters. Writing doesn’t have to be perfect. Just be honest. Be kind to yourself. Start where you are.

Would love to hear your story if you like feel free to contact me below.

If Pain Could Speak

Pain is pain.

If Pain could speak,
it would ask why it deserves what it's going through.
But it would also say, "Don’t worry—this won’t last forever."

Pain would remind you it's just a part of life.
That without it, you wouldn’t know how to treasure pleasure or peace.
There has to be balance.
Without balance, the world would unravel into chaos.

And I would say to Pain—
You’re right.
But that doesn’t mean I have to like you.

I would say—
Give me a break.
Please.

I've had a lot of pain in my life.
I am so tired.
Let me rest.
Let me breathe.

But I’d also say—
Don’t leave me completely.
Because my pain has made me resilient.
It’s made me courageous.
It taught me how to survive.

I’ve struggled for a long time.
And now,
all I ask for
is a moment of peace.
