PainA Poem by J.L. DavenportWe all endure it
If ever it could hurt so bad
So bad if ever it could hurt Like birth, the pain unbearable but in the end brings good things Let me explain If a torch shall burn, the fire should be lit In the flame is a beautiful essence but if you touch that flame you will only feel pain Pain; good things? Can it be that through pain brings good things? Tears can help you see See yourself just a little clearer I sit here with my mind on fire My heart hurts This body aches Nevertheless, I wait for the beauty that will awaken through this pain I say in the eye is a lie and the body can be deceiving I say in the heart is misjudgments but the mind is not blind you'll see this in time Until then it is one pain after the other Another bruise to heal More pain to feel Until you see, what is real and real is the comfort of yourself not in the small comforts of another J.L.
