Pain Poems - Poems about Pain

Please tell the world — pain is real, It doesn’t vanish, it doesn’t heal. Some may smile and say “you’ll mend,” But this is a war that will never end. Chronic pain doesn’t come-and-go, It’s in your joints, it’s all you know. It lingers in silence, behind each breath, A quiet shadow that mimics death. Debilitating, crushing, it’s stolen my days, In a thousand...

for the ones losing hair, light, and hope—this is you. They said I was nothing special. Just a crawling thing, skin too thin, eyes too tired, body too slow to ever matter. I heard them whisper. “He looks worse every day.” “She’s losing her hair now.” “Poor thing.” And worse— the pity in their voices cut more than the words. I wanted to hide. Wanted to leave this skin, this...

You cry their tears and feel their fear. Why, because they're someone you hold dear You know they can't sleep because you're wide awake You happened to be around when their heart starts to ache Talking with them you're hoping for so much But until things get better they have you as a crutch With them on your mind your spirits...

Band-Aid To cover up a scab. The lies won’t disappear. Only a temporary cover up. You can still see the scar. Always an excuse with a band-aid. Just a figure of speech. Dust under the rug to compromise. To avoid confrontation or a fight. The guilt is rising. I can see the under lining. Just...

Home, home is a place where you're supposed to feel loved and safe. A place where you can go to get away. When you struggle throughout your day you know you can go and not feel like a castaway. Home, not everyone has one of those.I didn't growing up. I had drug addicts and people who didn’t care...

Date: June 17, 2025 I wandered through a bleeding dusk, the wind forgot my name. A rose was growing from the dust— I reached, and it became the fog that hums like swallowed screams. My lungs forget to breathe. I taste old blood beneath my tongue. Each petal cuts me in my sleep— what did I dare believe? Each step I took was stitched with...

"Sometimes the softest dreams unravel into ash." My mind walks landscapes made of ash, where stars collapse in whimsy’s flash. I reach for light, but it turns to dust— a mirror cracking from broken trust. A hallucination holds my hand and leads me through this haunted land. Here, love once bloomed in endless spring, now silence grows in everything. The bones of joy...

Written June 17, 2025. Title: “In Stars Above.” Contest: This or That, Vol 34. Sponsor: Edward Ibeh. They say stars are dead things, light still traveling from a time before love undid me. I stare at them anyway. As if answers live in burning ghosts. He touched me like I was holy— then left like I was haunted. I called it devotion. But it was ruin dressed...

Love is desire the name the lust the passion the fire the burning of the ashes as required Sin is everyone even when we were born, the mother's womb is the reason why pain is born On earth as it is in heaven we fight among each other as our sin shed blood among together Darkness is us, as corruption is the world allowing sin to breathe...

Life can be filled with much love and joy, what happen when people want to destroy? We each need to find our place, in the Howling Wilderness of space. Away from all the hurt and pain, where we can rest both body and brain. We can hear the wild animal sounds, taking us far from the evil peoples towns....

You lit up the room, Raising the vibe, Made sure that you always, Protected your tribe. Way too young to leave, This shouldn't be true, Never once did I imagine, Doing life without you. Such a kind soul, Through and through, A devastating loss to so many, Who knew and loved you. My hearts been torn apart, Leaving an aching scar, You're the hardest goodbye, I've said so far...

I know that silence you hold in your chest, The scream behind smiles, the ache in your rest. Where love means walking a thin wire line, And his “I’m sorry” feels like a red warning sign. I know all the lies and the secrets you hide— what would they say if the truth got outside? You map every bruise like it’s...
