Pain
Too much will crush you,
Tenderize you,
Benumb you to the world
With a hard shell on the outside;
Too little will destroy you,
Make you weak,
Vulnerable,
A shimmering beauty with a fragile inside.

This is just one of thousands of futile attempts to describe a feeling that we've all felt before. I hope that those of you who read this will gain some insight on this topic from a slightly different point of view. Thank you!
