Optimistically, I'd see pain as strength
I'd use it in a context :
that I could get through whatever else life throws at me
because I believe that I've already been through the worst.
Through time, other kinds of pains introduced themselves through the years
each one was uniquely different, and each one felt devil sent
tapping different kinds of fear, to the point where I've felt so much
and didn't even shed a tear
....anymore.
Dealing with pain to me, is a choice
a choice where you stop seeing it as strife but a drive
a drive to not get lost within, but to take it in
I wouldn't say let it go, because it isn't always as easy as people show
so my only advice for people who strive
is to choose to see it as a drive
in a different context, get in the car and DRIVE!
ride your pain
and survive
for pain,
will always be a part of life.
