Pain can be Pleasant
Pain can be satisfying
The way it prepares us for the worst
and best times of our lives

It sharpens our knowledge
opens our minds
Exposes our feelings of fear
While teaching us to be fearless

strengthens our hearts
Awakens our soul
teaches us to be whole

you can't fix pain
But you can control the way pain fixes you

the only thing that is more quintessential than pain is the joy it brings you when you overcome it
This is only an excerpt to how I feel pain is profoundly beneficial to our souls.

Why is it that pain clouds our judgments
it awakens our bad habits,
I was afraid of how I felt without you
and the only way I thought I could find myself again was through bad habits,
I was wrong
without you, before you, I was whole
Do you know what feels more pleasing than overcoming bad habits
The sweet feeling of satiation in knowing how worthy you were
In knowing I deserve to be whole again
In knowing I was worthy, and you,
You were a bad habit
a flame that’s been finally extinguished
And I am whole again

I am in love with being alone
And oh! how wonderful it is to explore how unlonely you can be on your own,

But there is a mighty difference,
One that we all face,
When loneliness hits us at the wrong time and place,

My heart sinks and I can’t breathe,
Memories come rushing back to me
So much on my mind,
Who am I
Where do I belong,
The future is all I think of
Everything seems so wrong

I keep my head up
I tell myself to breathe,
You can do it just be strong,

I am okay again,
But I fear for these days,

When solitude is what I crave,
But loneliness takes its place.
A quick poem i thought of during my lonely hours. Still in progress. I am not sure if anyone else has a problem with editing there poems on this or is it just me ?

Never skirt the truth
If I had not learnt from the past
This feeling would not have come to me so fast
I contemplate desires as my anxiety kicks in
The night seems lonely
How do I cope within
Almost imperceptible but so evident
Never skirt the truth
Eventually it becomes an impediment
You deserve something real
Something luminescent someone who makes you feel incandescent
Never skirt the truth
I can feel it in my bones
My intuition is what keeps me grown
I am not a fool to the unknown

Don’t forget that there is a balance between Growing and Giving. You can’t expect to grow if you give all your pieces away. You’ll only begin to lose yourself in the process.

So, in the midst of giving pieces of yourself to the people around you, never forget that you too exist...
