Poetry is the heart decoding messages for the brain from the soul through layer upon layer of flesh, blood and fear.

You ask why there must be pain,

Because you do not know see the actual gain.

You see,

There cannot be joy without sorrow

And how can you have relief if there is no grief?

Without darkness there is no light.

So you ask me why there is wrong,

But you do not understand that without it, there is no right.
