Pain is hottest in the moment
Most painful in the memory
Most relieving when forgotten
To forget is to forfeit the lesson
To remember the lesson a blessing
In the blessing the pain will be lessened
To lessen the pain is to forfeit the gain
Gained by confession to another
In the pain of the present
Present your pain to a friend
And experience the blessing
Of expressing your pain
To a friend who will gain
From pains lessons

It's confusing...in a good way...and in a bad way...does that make sense? I like what it is saying, but the overuse of words gets me a little tongue tied.
