Pain
is the other half of relief
Because
you suffered
And
felt the pain of life
You
were able to feel sweet relief
Options
are the foundation of life
When
you choose anything from where to eat
Or
from what religion to practice
Your
life will build and work around your choices
Everyone
and everything is worth something
You
were outcast because they thought you were nothing
But
everyone and everything is important
And
we all have a role on this Earth
Frieden
und Glück
Peace
and happiness
There is so much about this poem from Casey Hites that I admire, from the insight it demonstrates to the language to the tone. I love the opening line: "Pain is the other half of relief." It immediately gets the reader thinking and feeling. Casey goes to Fairport Harding High School in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. She wrote this poem last spring when she was in eighth grade.
