Dear Pain

Dear Pain,

You're not ugly. You're in fact quite beautiful. I love the way you appear as a smile on that street kid's face. I admire the way you stay silent to avoid unimportant chatter. I like the way you pick yourself up, bit by bit and walk away from the crowd gathered around you. I adore the elegance of your calculated talk amidst glaring eyes.

I praise the sensitivity with which you appear insensitive. I respect your acceptance of brutal reality and your habit of staying brutally honest. I treasure the way you slowly close and open your eyes to growing questions around you. I marvel at the way you heal the world. I wonder at the way you hold our heads and make us see the sufferings of the world around. I cherish the way you've taught me the difference between pain and sadness. Its hopeful the way you say,"just a bit more, and you'd be fine." You make us believe in how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly.

I love the way you stay. I love you. For you teach us what absolutely nothing else can. If it wasn't for you, I would not have known Happiness.If it wasn't for you, I would not have looked around in the world and felt.

Always your student,
Just another human.
