What Is? Poem by Sky Welch

What is pain? Pain is the balance of life. Pain keeps Pleasure in line. Without Pain, Pleasure consumes the world.
What is Pleasure? Pleasure is the time wasted. Pleasure keeps Pain busy. Without Pleasure, Pain has no meaning.
What is Life? Life is the core of the universe. Life keeps Pain alive. Life makes use of time and loves Pleasure. Without Life, Pain would not survive.
What is Laughter? Laughter is the essence that makes you smile and others frown. Laughter destroys Pain and cures sickness. Laughter is what keeps you alive.
What is Emotion? Emotion is what propels you forward and holds you back. Without Emotion Laughter could not exist. Emotion is the balance that space follows.
What is Friendship? Friendship does not make the world go round. Friendship is calm at first, but with time by its side it will expand and accumulate. Friendship will spred and eat you up inside. Friendship makes you think that you're not alone. Friendship is addiction.
What is white? White is Simplicity is a different world. White does not feel pleasure, only Pain. White is not perfect, though it protects what is. I am white, the vast void that is nothing; but surrounds everything.
