A Dance with Pain

A poignant exploration of the role of pain and emotions in making life worth living,

Emotions

Ahhh, what great complexion

There are times when I hate being able to feel things

Sometimes I would give anything to not have a feeling

I think we've all felt that way at some point

I know emotions are what make up life

What gives you that will to live

But at the same time, they give you that will to die

The last word of that verse is somewhat dramatic

But well, it relates to some of my emotions

Wanting certain things to end and not having any feeling about it

But it's impossible

I can't escape my emotions

No matter how much I want to escape, they're there

Giving me that beauty and pain

Giving me what forges my character

I wish I only had beautiful emotions

Not to feel the pain

But at the same time, I wonder

Would it be perfect no to feel unbelievable pain?

I don't know, it could be a good thing, but it could also be a bad thing.

When you feel pain, I suppose it makes us value the moments we smiled and were happy more.

Value it while you smile.

It's the only thing I can think about every time I'm happy.

Because everything inevitably has an end.

And having that end provides those emotions that we wish we could just turn off, like a switch and not feel anything anymore.

Emotions are different for everyone.

For me, they're what makes this life interesting, although there are moments that don't make it so interesting but that's part of life.

And there's nothing you can do about it.

Just remember that tomorrow is another day.
