Pain

Pain

Is it there to punish us,

Or is is it there for us

To learn the meaning of

Pleasure?

A very interesting question and I think the answer is probably a little of both. Congrats on the top ten award.

This poem is reminiscent of the movie "Shadowlands" (Anthony Hopkins, Debra Winger) for it seems to state in a few words the whole feel and intellect of the movie, It is often difficult to comprehand the value of something without understanding its diametric oposition. In this poem you've captured the essence of this truth.

Kelly, Very power-packed this one is. A thought-provoking read. They say that without the hard times, you wouldn't appreciate the good. Same concept here. A very well-written, short poem that says a lot! Great work!
