Behind the Pain
Pain is not pain
It’s removing the fear
Courage isn’t courage
It’s removing the pain
Completely different
And one and the same
No matter the path
The outcome remains
Pain is not fear
And fear is not pain
If you told me your answers
I’d have you get more
If you gave me your wisdom
I’d try to ignore
Because deep in my being is courage and pain
Mixed with some fear
Behind, I remain
