Pain is the payment
for that precious thing
Pain is the reward
for that foolish thingOf mind or of body
endorphins sing
from hymns sheets- the sameOf precious or of foolish
seeping through layers
clutching nerve endings
burning with acidic strengthThe pain is the same

Oof…astute observation. It is up to us to assign meaning to those streams of endorphins, and perhaps salvage something from the experience of having them.

There is always a price to pay… but i think there’s good pain and bad.

Hmm, one to ponder. Sounds true, though I’d rather think not!

Good for you for sussing that out. There’s different types and depths of pain. I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to dissect them. It’ll entail reliving them all. (*shudder*)

I think men and women see pain differently. I my experience the majority of men moan more whist women are more stoic knowing it is frequently part of their normal lives.
