Poetry: Pain

by Stephen Roberts

Pain is comedy.

It's the expression of physical and mental abuse,
turned inward- reshaped,
realized.

It's the blooming of the heart and shared belief,
there is goodness to every tear
dropped.

It's the stone which is so absurd,
the one which feels nothing,
but rolls none the less.

It's the waking to a day,
where sun shines
where there's silence.

Pain is comedy,
because what else could there be?
