Cling to Pain

Cling to Pain

Why do we do things so ludicrous?

I think sometimes we cling,

To the things that bring us pain,

Because we’d rather feel the pain,

In the familiar,

Than the peace,

In the unknown.

We hurt ourselves for no good reason.

Others hurt us for no good reason.

Except-

There is a reason.

Out of every pain, you gain.

A friendship of someone who,

Helped you escape the pain,

A life lesson that you would,

Not have to learn later.

You learn not to trust anyone.

Because everybody is out to get you in the unknown.

That is why we hurt ourselves,

Why we pain ourselves in the familiar.

Because on the inside, we are all afraid of the unknown.

That is why we cling to pain.
