Maybe my Pain is not so painful anymore.

Maybe I had to go through all the pain so I can understand yours. It helps me to be able to imagine the kind of pain you felt in the past, how it influenced you and how it shaped you. Your pain makes sense to me. Your brokenness does not repulse me. I get it. I understand the deeper meaning behind your whole being ... Maybe your past is the reason why I feel deeply connected to you. It's like we both lived the same story at different ends of the world and just when you thought no one understood your story, someone comes in and understands every chapter, appreciates every sentence and feels every line of your story .... Perhaps it is the goal of pain for us to grow on it, but also to feel connected to others. We can sympathize with them because we know how it feels. We were there too. We have experienced these storms before and we will always remember how much we needed kindness, love and someone at our side in these difficult times. Maybe my pain is the reason why I feel closer to you. Maybe my pain is the reason why I know you're lying when you say you're fine and I know exactly what each smile means to you. I see the past in your smile. I know only too well ... Maybe my pain is not so painful anymore. It has served its purpose a long time ago, but part of it still remains deep within me, so that I feel every emotion of you that you can not express, hear every word that can not leave your lips and I the little cosmos in your head even if it seems to others like chaos, I look into your eyes and see everything you try to hide from a dangerous world ... Maybe my pain is the reason why my heart understands you, because I know what the pain does to people. It makes you stronger. It makes me more compassionate. It makes them warriors. It makes me change my life. It makes them beautiful because they are drawn from life, their experiences and the people who hurt them ... Maybe the pain is the reason why I see so much beauty in you. When everyone else is scared of scratching your surface, I dive into the little world that you hide deep in your soul ...
