Pain.....

Have you ever thought that pain is a gift?

I have…

The pain from a wound and

The pain from the heart

I would love to reject the gift of feeling

To never feel pain and never be hurt

What if the world never felt anguish?

What a sad world it would be

To never feel pain

Pain holds us together

It does not tear us apart

Pain allows for compassion to seep

Into the hearts of men

It allows for happiness to be noticed

It allows us to feel other emotions

That we cannot live without

Pain is a gift

A gift from god

Without the pain

We would have no feeling of health

No feeling of joy

No feeling of compassion

No empathy or concern

No consideration or kindness

No love

We would be empty without feeling

The loss of physical pain is not as great

As the numbness of the heart

Someone without feeling of agony, heartache

And grief cannot relate to others.

Pain ... I do find discomfort in saying the word

Why does it scare me so?

I do not fear physical pain

The breaking of an arm or ribs

The aching of bones and or a throbbing head

Is nothing compared to the shattering

Of my heart

The sting creeping into my core

Is too much to handle

So I hold in my emotions

And I lock them away in a glass bottle

The bottle is always drifting away with

The current but

Always coming back with the tide

My lungs can’t breathe in the air

The pain in my chest is too much to bare.

I’m drowning in tears of pain

Is it too much to ask for someone to care

I can’t take much more

The glass bottle will break

And inside my heart will be set free

Finally able to breath

Feeling pain is what makes us…

Human…

We can't hold in the pain for long

we need to release it so we can finally 

heal and only then

can we feel good once again

Emotions are gifts

Pain is only part of it.....

Let go of the pain 

and only then can

you finally begin to

heal....
