Pain Is Life Poem by Noah Body

The world is black
The world is blue
There's nothing but pain
inside of you

The pain is back
It's here to stay
It'll never leave
No matter what you say

It's all there is
You should be grateful
It's something there
The emptiness is more hateful

So your life is empty
That is so true
You'd best get a life
And stop being so blue

The emptiness is you
and you are it
You'd better get control
before you get bit

You miss your life
The tears are flowing
The pain inside you
Just keeps growing

But pain is life
and life is pain
Stop those tears
That flow like rain

Be happy for the pain,
It confirms you're alive
Better then the emptiness
Against which you strive

You're numb today
The pain won't kill you
But it'll keep on hurting
No matter what you do

So embrace the pain
And know that you live
Let it run right through you
Like water through a sieve

Take that pain,
welcome it in your heart
It'll be there anyway
It's time for life to start

So you miss that life
The one that you knew
I'm sure it misses you
Much as you miss it too

But life goes on
This much I know
Because experience
Tells me so

No choice is a choice
That brings the default
It's the choice that you made
Now it's your fault

Live with the choice
Stop longing to die
Take on your life
And learn how to fly

Grow your wings
As you've been told you must
And leave this world
Alone in the dust
