Plain Pain

Plain Pain. There's a heavy pain on top of my joy, Little room nails scratching my whole, All of me helpless and hopeless, The goal was joy now in the Goal mouth there's sore, Necessity to comprehend the whole thing Is no more appealing to my present, How old is I to be fooled? How long from now will it take to appeal to be true? Yesterday I wasn't perfect but real in the mud Now I appear to be but fake in the cart, Who is fooling who I wonder Who else shall say it louder than I? The present seem to be non kind And my kind seem to be non present, Who is I to follow with joy When there is none in me in secret? Who is I to laugh to the joke of reality When they are not at all? Who is I to judge human nature with an eye That see far closer than nowhere? There's a walk for me to take I realised there's a lot at stake, Alone with I,me and me Releasing each drop for joy to be found Never the less there's none to be for I to smile.

Bolton, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
