It is not easy when pain comes
from nowhere it shows up
if it had a reason we would be better off
But it does not always

Pains have a history
it is more strong in the present
we don’t want it to have a future

There is my pain your pain
and our pain…
I know you can feel my pain a bit
so can I yours…
But our shared pain
That is what changes the world

We cannot get rid of every pain
but we can create mechanisms
to cope with it…
endure it…
share it…
and finally live with it…

Pains are like memories
that help us create the future
and make better decisions

Pain brings us together
it makes us see beyond
our mere existence…

pain can be profound
at times in life
