Dear Pain

Dear Pain,

Please fade, fade away.

Sometimes I wish that I could drown out all the sorrow and the pain.

I wish that pain didn’t exist.

I wish that I was capable of getting rid of this horrible thing that exists and is called reality.

Dear Pain,

I wish that it would all just go away.

I just want all reality, all pain, all sorrow, and all negativity to fade into some sort of happiness.

Yet it still sticks around for whatever reason.

Dear Pain,

You need to leave society alone and become unknown to everyone and everything.

But then how do we what do we have left?

Nothing.

Everything is equal, in a society full of equality there is nothing.

Without you Pain, we have no feeling.

Without pain, there would be no depression, suicide, hurt, tears of filled with the satisfaction of pain.

Dear Pain,

I guess that's just what you do.

I guess that's what you get happiness out of.

Your friends with your demons, fell in love with the grim reaper, and your best friends with Lucifer himself.

You flee in terror when it comes to happiness.

You run until you can find a way to destroy it.

Nice read. Simple words. I liked the message and how rhetoric it is to ask pain to go away because if we do not experience pain, we cannot experience happiness. I liked the way you started the poem as a letter to pain; I feel I would have enjoyed it more if the whole poem would have been written as a personal letter to pain! Keep up the good work.
