The world seemed so different, so austere;
what happened to cause all to change?
It made me different and filled with fear;

It looked all the same, but I was not;
I was suddendy out, looking in.
How did it get to

The Pain To Grow

The Pain To Grow

Growth is always accompanied by pain;
for it is the limit; self-imposed;
while reaching out to achieve some gain;
for it’s how the body grows.
