Rewards For Pain Poem by Letter From My Mother's Womb

Rewards for Pain

Pain may seem hush,
When you're in a rush,
Same as a I could bit around the bush,
I'd still land in the midst of it all.

You might find yourself in clashes,
Clashes between who you are, and who want to be
Accident after the other, hidden under bandages
In a dark circled room, like a hand with bangles

Pain is inevitable,
Just as heartbreaking seem impossible,
Impossible to heal,
Pain can be faked, but always comes out real

Do not blame pain, when you fail
Have you seen one cry till they turn pale,
Or naturally are?
It's almost as if pain is for sale;

We attract it, unknowingly
It gets attracted, starts friendly
And unexpectedly,
It leaves permanent sadness, sadly.

If you fail,
Do not loose hope.
If you don't reach your goals,
Try hard, there's more in-store.

Do not be demotivated,
Stay strong,
You'll grow stronger,
Stand taller, dream bigger!

The rewards for pain:
Riches, approved
Wealth, reached
Striving for excellence from failure!
