It Hurts Before It Heals

It left you shattered

Battered, broken, bruised

You're in pieces

Your world seemingly in two

But you're gonna make it

You see it hurts before it heals

It has to hurt

Without the pain you wouldn't grow

You wouldn't learn anything

Wouldn't know half of what you know

It hurts before it heals

Because the pain serves a purpose 

Without the hurt, joy couldn't exist

Because of what hurt brings

Emotions pair and they teach

Among many other things

That's why it hurts before it heals

Because it must

Let me tell you something

Once you get through it you will thrive

You will grow and feel better than ever before

And you will once again feel alive

You'll enjoy all life has to offer

So thank God it hurts before it heals

I have read this a couple times in quick succession. It felt...comforting, I guess, like a good friend telling me something I needed to hear. So...thanks :)
