My Pain

Do I know pain?

I have been through thick and thin,

Never again to trust men,

I know pain.

What is pain?

It is all the lies,

Causing so many gray skies,

That is pain.

Do I know pain?

All the bruises I have hid,

And all the lies I have bid,

I know pain.

What is pain?

It is all the words that they said,

And the many lives that I have lead,

That is pain.

This is my pain.

Hiding all the scars,

Living behind locked bars,

This is my pain.

structure of poem was marvellous.......

[Wild Spirit]

It makes me want to cry to know how much you have one through and I have the feeling I only know part of it. You are my best friend and can tell me anything. I hope to know it all someday so I can help you I any way I need to.

And I really hope to tell you some day. It's just always going to be hard,but maybe just take it a step at a time,piece by piece.

It s renders a voice in the work...
yet releasing the pain ---
and admitting to it...
and finding a resolution...
is a way to break the bond from it...
what does not kill you ---
only makes you stronger...
yet abuse should not be tolerated in anyway...
there is a difference in abuse and protecting yourself...
at times -- people use the deceptive ---
by saying it was abuse --- when all in fairness...
it was self defense...and get away with it...
or self injuring themselves and blaming another for the action...
