Our Torture Chamber

At times we tend to feel nothing but pain,
feeling like we have nothing to gain,
our hearts once again a wrecking ball and a chain,
on our sleeves an obvious worn out blood stain,

Our thoughts slowly driving us insane,
in our hearts an obvious torture chamber,
broken hearts not amounting to much,
hearts on the mend fending off life's saber,

Our hearts laboring to do something we savor,
tasting happiness again we do someone a favor,
as little by little we remove our hearts road blocks,
our hearts beating merrier to the ticking of the clock.

As we trudge through sludge//we barely budge//but little by little//by grit and spittle//we move just a tiny smudge. Wait! that's smidge, not smudge. Well, you know what I mean, your PO says it much better! huggerdoodles and happies! ~ j
