Pain

Wandering into my bedroom--
Alone, weary, frustrated.
I collapse to my knees
And utter a silent plea:
Why these feelings?
With so much to be happy about,
Why do I have painful,
Confused, frustrating feelings?
An image comes to mind
A clear and quiet understanding:
You endure the pain of exercise--
Of resistance training,
Of running--
With pleasure and gratitude,
Knowing it will lead to greater gains in strength.



This is no different.
