My Pain

For in my burden i cry,

its depression can only lie.

  My failure is just my flaw,

a side affect from the law.

  My anger is at my pain,

to hinder me of my reign.

  For i am a chosen one,

a believer of our Gods son.

  So try to slow me down,

for in him always a crown.

  His faith is forever in me,

his vengence is what you'll see.

I guess by now we know that pain is an integral part of life. It hollows us out to hopefully be filled with something better. Would love to think your life is coming back together John. Love, Elizabeth

I liked the line about anger at your pain. I have that anger too with new pain I'm experiencing. But we all need to realize we are chosen sons and daughters of God and to have faith!

John so good to read your work again!! Uplifting as always. I can identify with your line 'My anger is at my pain, to hinder me of my reign'. I was angry and realized not at anyone ,just the pain . And said ,He doesn't give more than I can handle. Wonderful message here! Anne
