Into Your World...

Pain comes in many forms and from different sources.
It can come straight to the middle of the soul.
It can come as a persistent irritant in your mind.
(Of course, let's not forget physical pain...)

Sometimes...
It comes indirectly.

I'm happy now.
I'm settled...

What hurts the most now is that I see others in pain around me.

It'll be less painful to take the pain upon myself than to see them going through it.

Is it courage?
Sometimes...I think it's the lack of it.
Is it thoughtfulness?
Sometimes I think it's the opposite.

I feel helpless sometimes because I might feel their pain, but I've got no idea what's causing it.
Do I have the right to press them to share when they automatically don't?
I try to let them know I'm there for them, though I do it very subtly...
Maybe they can't decipher my nudges?

I won't be so bold to say that I can solve anything and everything...
What I can offer is my attention and potentially another perspective.
I can help sort out the clutter.

Will you be willing to let me a little into your world?
I'll come bearing offerings of peace...
