“An Ode to Pain” Poem by Lavinia Grandt
December 8, 2020
It is known that the joys of life
Are overshadowed by the pains
For what good is your happiness
If it all ends in your despair?
But I propose, to those heavy hearted,
What good is joy to you
If there is no pain?
Your pleasure is built off the other,
Off the tragedy you’ve endured
Yes, you are hurt, and you feel pain,
But that makes your triumph even sweeter
Your pain is your story
Your tears are your strength
And you are not alone
