Inevitable

Pain tells a tale,
Now straight and clear;
Pain makes the sale,
Watch feelings steer.

Pain has a way,
No-nonsense style;
Pain flings full sway,
Breach of lame smile.

Pain knows a lot,
Speaks a clear strain;
Pain flings full plot,
Hurls sure and plain.

Pain takes a poise,
Knows what to say;
Pain sparks a choice,
Keeps count of play.

Pain wears you down,
To make you know;
Pain hangs around,
To prime your show.

Pain answers bold,
The way to feel;
Pain can seem cold,
Yet helps you heal.

Pain knows you well,
To save your hide;
Pain helps you tell,
To bear life's tides.
