Such a beautiful poem written by Sam.

My favourite part:

And then one December, the pain slipped away

like a silent tide at night.

I woke to a strange, holy quiet

of a mind no longer bracing itself,

of my thoughts no longer walking on glass.

Having been through tremendous pain myself when my defibrillator activated multiple times, I felt such relief when it stopped.

The words above capture the emotions completely when pain finally leaves you.
