"The Purpose of Pain"

 

Choice...

An act in motion...

Is footsteps moving forward...

We are the decisions made

From the storms that wage against us

We take what comes

Rooted within humanity

We are the keeper of our history

And no other being can write your story

Blank pages await...

Existence within the senses

Treasure those big bright beautiful moments

The balance is weighed...

Some battles silently scream from our lips

And more times than enough...

It's not about who won...

When survival is the destination achieved

To keep on living from that which use to bind you

Because no matter how much it hurts then or even now...

It has changed your life...

A lesson in the purpose of pain

To realize we are the only ones who walk within our shoes

Boundaries do not cut out love...

They respect it...

Silence is not merely the absence of words

It's a response on its own

Our worth is something to be remembered

And should not be diminished by bitterness or the negativity of darkness

Letting go of things that no longer serve you well

Is the allowance given to ones self

By letting the need for happiness over rule any assumption made

Like all others before it, this day to will soon be over

And the night will come...

Passing all that has been into yesterday

Because tomorrow now comes with a new breath taken

At the breaking of a whole new light.
