He walked with me, but the thorns were below my feet and the pain was mine alone. He lifted me in his arms when he saw those thorns, yet how could he pull off the pain of unseen thorns from my thoughts? He tried to comfort me when he sensed my pricks within and cried when he realised that he was walking on roses coz I had snatched his thorns, had carried his pain to help him carry happiness, had swooped discomfort from within him to help him live comfortably. Strange that pain when taken, doesn't take away the pain from another, yet shared pain helps us overcome its hold on us and ease its choke on us. Pain walks alone, yet the painful heart rejoices when another heart walks with it.. #yqbaba #life #pain #lifeslessons
