Turning Pain into Purpose

Turning Pain into Purpose 

Pain teaches one growth

 in dark places.

One oftentimes ask one's innerself
Am I addicted to pain?

Pouring into others that often left me drained,  exhausted yet no one stops
To ask of mine.

The pain felt cruel, trust broken, The
loss felt unfair but maybe it was mercy
in masquerade. 

Let them do what brings them peace,
Protect your energy at all costs.

Expect nothing from others it only
elevates one's disappointments.

Turning pain into purpose.
