Mark J. Shelton - Pain

Life is full of pain, but hopefully it is not all in vain. Life is full of sorrow, which prepares you for tomorrow. Pain has many sources, and through your veins and your body it courses. Pain is about learning, and can be caused by yearning. Without pain there is no hope, and without hope you can not cope. There are many types of pain, with each giving its own knowledge to gain. Pain can be physical, mental or emotional, but pain is never rational. Pain can be an amazing thing, but it can destroy everything. Pain is life and life is pain. Without pain you can not live. and living can not be done without pain. So I will suffer through all the pain, and the dark and the rain, hoping for a better day and a better way. Hoping that maybe one day all the pain will go away. It may sound strange but with pain comes happiness and with happiness comes pain. You can not have one without the other. Pain, happiness and life are like lovers. Always present, just sometimes not clearly visible!
