Pain and Happiness
It’s the way of life.
Never once has it been fair.
Now tell me why’s that?
We may sit and ponder,
Always begging for answers
But no one is there.
The pain we have to feel
Can be so unbearable
That we just can’t take it.
Sometimes it’s so painful,
That we end up going numb.
But don’t pretend to get used to it.
You know that it still lingers,
Hiding under the surface
Waiting for your joy to appear.
And joy means happiness.
And happiness brings the pain.
They truly go hand and hand with one another.
Now don’t get me wrong.
You will be happy.
Truly unimaginably happy,
For so long.
But unfortunately, It never lasts.
No matter how hard we try.
The pain that follows,
Is never that far behind.
