Recouperation

I can feel it.
I am getting better every day.
Scar tissue is breaking up, allowing healing to take place.
What was once painful is now a dull ache.

There are moments of pain, when I get overzealous in the process, and push too hard.
I have to reel myself back in to my comfort zone and dry the tears from my eyes.

I am speaking of my surgery.
My physical pain.

I have not had to reel myself back from my emotional process.
Not yet.
And I haven't dried my tears.
I choose to let them fade.

Finally, I am choosing to let them fade.
