Give Away the Pain

Excerpts from a blog by Enuma Okoro:

He asks me if I would really do it? Give away all the pain if I could. 

Would I really give it away? 

'It is so hard. 

So hard... but have this odd feeling... 

I think the pain will matter in the end.  

On the other side of this... things will taste sweeter than they should... because of this bitterness. 

So no.  

I don't want it. But I wouldn't give it away.'

I don't want this pain. But I wouldn't give it away. And all I can hope is that things will taste sweeter than they should because of this bitterness.

Thank you, Enuma, for giving words to my soul.
