Hurt Is Pain

Hurt is something you cannot contain.
It’s like nonstop rain.
Why do we always look for someone to blame.
We play that famous name game.
That is our way out.
Is that a safe way to escape, with guilt and doubt.
Never hide your emotions on someone’s else expense.
That’s because we are always on the offence and defense. 
I don’t know about you but I don’t want that drama and suspense.
Yet we ignore it like it isn't there.
And say to ourselves who cares?
Instead we should focus on the future and never ever forget the past.
That wicked feeling of hurt is like pain it grows so fast.
It stays with us until it is resolved.
I forgot to tell you that I thought I was in love. 
To tell you the truth I'd almost forgotten my loss,
And all the pain and hurt it causes.

Hurt is dfinetly something that is hard to contain. It manifest itself in so many ways. Your poem does it well. The voice in your poem articulates it wonderfully.
