Hark! Pain doesn’t always pains
Sometimes, more than it enkindles you sorrows is begets gains
It makes you introspect, contemplate and brood over realities of life to boot
It makes you to cotton on how this world is entirely stuffed with the loot
Yes, it is, at time worthwhile to feel pained
With sorrows and compulsions being all round chained
With adversities, dejections, trials and tribulations when you are weathered
While you make a bolt for the ecstasy, you are from all four sides fettered
It is pain which teaches you to be compassionate to those inflicted of pain
What is means, water’s edge being wracked havoc on by powerful hurricane
Pain inspires you to raise above the pain inducing entities
Acquaintances, friends and those staunchest enemies
After enduring pain sometimes that pain is replaced by unique placidity
But truth is life treats a person at times abysmally
