Pain

I was lucky to meet that,

Which some never do.

To meet that,

Which many cannot meet.

 

To wish it away,

To be those who never have,

Or even be those who cannot.

 

To meet that, and rise,

As many who have, have not.

To gain more than you ever knew,

Before meeting that which you now know,

Brings awakened life.

 

Have you met pain?
