Pain,
my enemy
Pain, my friend
I’ve grown to love
you
for the good you bring
Simultaneously,
I despise you
while my heart silently
bleeds
You deliver wonderful
gifts
Compassion
Insight
Sensitivity
Growth
Yet you can equally destroy
Paralysis
Fear
Anger
Guilt
Pain, my enemy
Pain, my friend
I welcome you
I run from you
I embrace you
I hide
I realize I cannot avoid
you
At least, in this life
While I treasure your
gifts
I loath your destruction
Although I can’t
escape you
I can choose what I do
with you
Pain, you make me a prisoner
Pain, you set me free.
