Blind Pain

BLIND PAIN
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I Walk Alone Infused with Pain
And Fail to Recognize the Shame
That Others Carry on My Behalf
As I Stumble on this Drunken Path

Don’t Post or Tell What to Do
I’m in Tune with Me, Not with You
No Idea of the Thoughts I Ride
Hiding, Escaping, Suicide

Why Has Life Treated Me this Way
Tomorrow, a Repeat of Yesterday 
There’s No Remedy in Sight
A Little Bracer Will Make it Right

I Think Not Clearly Any More
I Did Once in Calmer Days of Yore
Echoing Thoughts I Can’t Contain
A Little Bracer Will Ease the Pain

I Know Eventually I’ll Succumb
A Little Bracer Will Make it Numb
