Pain

sometimes your pain
is the gateway of you
understanding yourself

a friend of my told me;
you feel in a contrast

never did I think
I needed a tragedy
for humor to make sense

khalil said
you would accept your seasons
like you accept seasons that passes your field

what if they do not pass
what if they aren’t a season
but a long cold perpetual winter 

as I scramble my thought
over this piece of a paper
I realize I pour myself into it
when I feel the pain

my father always said
your food tastes better
when you haven’t eaten all day

but isn’t food the same?

when was last
the pain taught you something?
does it ever teach?

sometimes your pain
is the gateway of you
understanding yourself
