Pain
PAINS THE THING THAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE
AND SO WE DON'T FORGET IT LEAVES A SCARE
A REMINDER OF THE WAY IT MADE YOU FEEL
AND ALL THE STRENGTH IT TOOK TO HEAL
PAIN MAKES US APPRICIATE THE THINGS WE NEVER DID
AND SEE THINGS ALL SO DIFFERENTLY, AND PEOPLE WE'RE AMID
YOU'LL NEVER FEEL THE SAME AGAIN, THOUGH YOUR NOT STILL IN PAIN
IT'S NOTHING BUT A MEMORY, THATS STUCK INSIDE YOUR BRAIN
PAIN IS PART OF EVERYDAY, IT'S PART OF OUR ROUTINES
IT'S NOT A THING OF PLEASURE, AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
IT'S THERE TO MAKE YOU STRONGER, AND TO PICK APART THE WEAK
A TOOL THAT HELPS US FIND SOME OF THE ANSWERS THAT WE SEEK
