THE BETRAYAL OF PAIN

EMBRACE THE GROWTH OF HURT

By Jesus NievesPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Wow, pain, is this real? You really had me going

To think that it feels like a continuous falling

I always thought it would hurt from impact or physical

The truth is you take many forms, even psychological

How could I know that life has you as a blessing or a curse

You can suffer or grow, never knowing what comes first

A toddler can fear it, not wanting their first painful boo-boo

As an adult, it goes up levels even people using voodoo

Family, friends, and lovers can be the pawns of its deceiving game

Jealousy, envy, hatred, and greed hide behind its name

We can choose the former, we can choose to love

look out your window to see what this world is made of

We are all capable of dishing it out or hiding it within

Love without pain is like a world without sin

We need them both, like good and evil

To know that you have to endure life’s upheaval

No one can prepare you for what is to come

You must experience it all to know what you become

Alone you are for it to show you how to lose or how to gain

now I know the harsh truth of the betrayal of pain
