Playing It Safe With Pain

Imagine now no more pain to be found It's possible though rare to achieve Now this topic I'm sure will astound A mosaic of life to perceive For love so deep we fear of losing We guard and protect at our core There's no greater thing more worthy of pursuing For this we live and give our lives in war To love and be loved To need and be needed It's the heart of every pain at its sum In absence of love you can't be defeated With nothing to lose your just numb So what's the use of playing safe with pain Dare it to defy you when love comes For your angle of perception makes those losses your gain Your blessed if your not the one who must say... "Do what you will for they can do nothing to hurt me There's no one left in my life for to take Worse still... Of me, there's no one who needs."

There are many times when I think my poems are more about me processing my thoughts rather than writing for those who read them. I want to thank you Drake for always stoping by to read, taking time to comment and being such a kind soul who really hears what another is saying. It's touching, truly.
