Pain is a messenger

Are you in pain? Do you want to get rid of it? But wait.....hold on....read...decide...... do you need a doctor? or can you bear it?

Pain is a messenger....

She has something to say.....

Should one kill pain?

...without hearing what it has to say?

I'm glad my tooth-aches 

And laugh when my head-aches

Happy for my bones that ache,

Happier for my heart that breaks.......

Ah!....Pain......there she goes again.....

Author's Note

So put away that Aspirin,
let the relief ointment be,
watch cartoons tom and jerry,
laugh and be merry.

Very good message. Sometimes it's also the doctors and pills that keep hurting you, you being sick and in pain gives more money to the drug industries - and i dont think they give a damn about your suffering. --I discovered this through my own medical ailments. Theres other ways getting through it all, you just have to search for yourself anything can be a form of relief. You hit the nail on the head with this one. Great write!

You speak of passing pain...but chronic pain robs one of life...I say give me the pill and let me be on my way to living life until there is no more life to live...but that's just me...afraid I'll miss something...LOL

Brilliantly profound look at something we all try desperately to avoid.. some to the point of death to get rid of the pain... Yet it does have a voice and it can speak such beauty and depth into our lives.. let us know we're still living... Thank you for reminding us...

Oh so true, pain is the messenger of broken dreams, hearts, mind, body, and soul.

Yes. The only out is through but too often we want to change our feelings when by being with them we can learn something. Not always a pleasant lesson but usually a valuable one. Nice write!
