Pain – a poem by one of our young people

PAIN What is a demon? They’re evil They bring pain and misery They bring pleasure Pleasure is selfish Immense happiness But only for one You Pleasure is temporary It isn’t sustainable It is unlike joy Joy is selfless It doesn’t go as high as pleasure But it can be shared Joy is temporary It is sustainable It comes from love What is love? Love is passion It can bring you pain It can bring you joy Demons don’t bring you joy They lie They want your suffering not happiness Don’t follow your demons follow your heart
