PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was born with a heart- That was built to be torn apart,

So I could put it back together- And go back to start.

I've come around full circle- I'm right back where I began,

My first line came from boy- These lines come from a man.

That has been able to withstand- Every bad hand Life has dealt,

With practically no help- Doing most of it his self.

The lessons that I've learned- Have been critical on this journey,

And although I've figured out much- Everyday I'm still learning.

Because my chest is still burning- From the shit that I feel,

Yes, it's still there- I've just learned how to deal.

With the hurt a little better- And I've even cried tears of blood,

It took me a while, but I've realized- That Pain is Love.

It helps you grow- And even though you don't see it,

In the end you will be better- You just have to defeat it.

Or at least withstand it- Just face it head on,

And I can tell you this 'cuz I've done it- I've been better since then on.

As I said before- Just never give up,

You don't realize it now- But you'll see- That Pain is Love.
