Hurt
by joetwo
So many things hurt
Hurt differently
Different kinds of damage
But all cause, pain
Pain that can’t be ignored
From the stab of a knife
To a splash of molten fire
To the breaking of a heart
All cause pain
All need a salve
An ointment
Be it chemical or emotional
That may, or might not
Heal the wound
Reduced the pain, to an ache, then gone
The world has so much hurt
All cause pain
Yet in a world of pain, there is also pleasure
With hurt, also joy
Two sides of the same coin
No real one without the other
A trade-off, a compromise
But ask yourself
Is it worth it?

Another beauty Joe. Love the “Two sides of the same coin” and the question at the end.

I find this one amazing! Really relate to it.
I find very interesting this: “An ointment
Be it chemical or emotional” – very well done, Joe!
Thank you. I try!
Food for thought at the end, Joe! Loved this one; great writing!
