Pain, Love, and Purpose

pain, love, & purpose

it's the pain that leads the way 

to the wisdom deep inside

it cracks your heart wide open 

gives you nowhere else to hide

and from that depth of feeling

we remember our own hearts

when we're on the path to love

sometimes pain is where it starts

from my pain i found my purpose 

my feelings showed my truth 

pain guided me to passion 

and what i was meant to do 

when i avoided feeling pain 

i blocked myself from love

through pain, love, & purpose 

i found who i really was
