DEATH PUNK 169 (Sorrow)



Parts of me I used to feel

Have died inside, no longer real

They’re still somewhere deep I know

Can’t reach them, till that pain’s let go

I shouldn’t wait on this too long

The danger is that they’ll be gone

Take courage; stand, and face the pain

It comes in waves that break again


I go outside and then I notice

That dirt and mud produce the lotus 

From this lesson I learnt to say

Something that helps me everyday

Hello Pain, I know you’re there

I’ll care for you when life’s unfair

You do not need to be afraid

What is done, can’t be unmade

Come out, Pain, I’m here for you

When no one else cares, I still do

We can sit and hold each other

I love you Pain, like a brother 

I am here, I’ll hold you tight

Until you’re ok and feel alright

Thank you, Pain, for helping me

You give me understanding, see?

To care for others suffering too

I couldn’t do this without you

And because when you’re around

That’s where happiness is also found


********

There is no darkness without light.

There is no suffering without happiness



Sometimes pain is too much to bare so we will ignore or kill it along with part of us.

Care for your pain, don’t kill it. Don’t kill your feelings. If you kill pain, you also kill happiness.



Sometimes sadness, pain and suffering can be overwhelming. 

This is a good time to remember that nothing lasts forever. 

We can get through this one moment, one breath at a time.

The following are helpful resources to explore pain, suffering and happiness:
