Reasons For Pain

Tears shed over a night's cool breeze
Arms wrapped around only themselve
Waking up for the day to seize
Slowly grasping for emotional health

Timid steps toward the light of day
Searching for an answer to one's existence
Constant questions why must it be this way
Random encouragement to be persistent

A smile yet so far away
Joyful renewed when tears are no more
Leaving sorrow where it may lay
Opening a brand new door

Enjoying great success
And turning pain into happiness
