Potential cope flex

Can you bear the pain 
right now? Or if right now
there's no pain: do 
you know how
to store degrees
of that painless state
for later use? To fortify 
and boost resilience
when the pain's on? 

So that you're shocked, 
stopped, bowed by pain.
Frenzied with disappointment,
loss, or simple injury. But then
you're like "Oh, let me bring back
some of that stored pain-free-ness"
and you straighten up all 
bright and bushy!
Do you know
how to do 
that? Of course 
you don't.

No one does.
Dumb question, skip it
please. But

have you tried?
