Wondering...

Been said that change will happen when
the pain of staying where you are
is greater than the fear of change. 
It's then that miracles occur
and leaden life transmutes to gold.
In writing analgesic poems,
does that spare agonies untold;
keep insight sharp from striking home?
Though wisdom emanates each time
creative souls express their lives,
within the meter and the rhyme
a moldy comfort just might thrive.
A biting word, a cutting line
could change a life like yours or mine.
