Pain

walk into the flames
you cant be afraid
there is so much pain
here is the test to prove how your made

hold my hand
be strong
strings of fire land
inside your eyes that see wrong

i dont want to die
tell me why
there is so much pain
dont let me cease in vain

share it with me
how they walk in the flames
take away the horrible things that hade to be
you cant, everything is going to remain the same

strings are being cut
they run blue
this is how they escaped but
pain isnt what they view

Sometimes we have to walk through fire to appreciate the serenity on the other side. I hope there are brighter days awaiting you on the other side, Kevin. You describe your "pain" very eloquently and evoke compassion from the reader. Well done! Love, Carolyn
