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
