Pain

I am Pain and Misery I wonder if they can see the devil within me I hear demons at night I see dreams of dark fright I want my life to be bright I am Pain and Misery I pretend that everything is all right I feel that my dreams are worth chasing I touch my heart as I feel it racing I worry that my true self is not worth embracing I cry that my demons are something I’m facing I am Pain and Misery I understand that life is worth debating and is worth saving I say goals are worth making I dream of being one day being interesting to others in the music I write I try to stay strong with all my might I hope one-day people can see their inner light I am Pain and Misery

Emil Cioran wrote about misery with similar pain.Baudelaire wrote about Fleurs du mal...There are everywhere people who follow the idols of Bacon, but at the other side of the soul,there is the song of hope.Even after the biggest tragedies, a flower may grow as poem of light.Best regards,O.B
