The Pain is Worth It

Love hurts

That is true

But in my eyes

The pain is worth it

The overwhelming emotions

That surge through me

Burn with the fire

Of a thousand flames

A thousand flames?

That’s not right

My heart suffers impalement

From the shards

Of a thousand shattered souls

Yes

That seems right

My heart

My soul

In the sea of moods

And feelings

Will they sink?

Will they float?

They cannot decide

I can not decide

Will I be glass

And shatter

at the slighted tap?

Will a be a brick wall

And not let emotions in

Or out?

They expect me

To choose a side

What will it be?

What will it be?

I choose to be neither

I share my heart

With who I love

I take their pain

As if it were my own

I keep my head up

I stand strong

The weight of the world

Will not stop me from flying

I have a reason

To move on

To smile

To live

As long as my kin soars

So will I

Love hurts

That is true

But in my eyes

The pain is worth it
