Take the Pain





Take the Pain


You and me

have way too much

damn empathy

the curse of

excessive sympathy

bleeding hearts be we 

always lending an ear

a shoulder to cry on

the pain of the world
can be too much to bear

Maybe

we need to erect

a protective wall

to insulate
ourselves from it all

The stone cold heart
feels no hurt


but


it never loves either

All the same

I'd rather be alive in pain

than comfortably dead

  1. Good job! I wanted to build protective wall, but I haven't succeeded, maybe you are right, maybe it is better to live in pain, than not to feel alive.

    1. Thanks for the kind words... I guess like with everything else moderation is the key

  2. there isn't a single soul out there who isn't in pain, and living through it, there is something we gain; and that is different individually.
