Wrong

Here is what I believed

That we would figure it out

       And that whatever we figured out would be ok

That it is noble to handle things well

       Which means it’s the opposite of noble to not handle things well
       (what is well?)

That it was not going to be that bad

That it would not be devastating

       Life changing but not devastating

That any pain would be manageable
       Wouldn’t be too bad or stay too long

But if the pain got unmanageable
       People would understand this type, this level of hurt

That there would be company along the way

That is what I believed

And

I
Was
Wrong

On all counts
