Best Life Pain Poems

A balance in life can solve the riddle. 
To find the balance, start in the middle.
Distractions from the banks may lead us wrong.
Go with the flow where the current is strong.

The banks are sirens calling to our ears,
offering us pleasures relieving fears.
The emotion of love,...

No matter how distressing
  Everything comes with a blessing

A bitter divorce
  seems wrenching, of course
Yet through its crucible of fire
  you can emerge inspired

Both legs blown off in the war
  What's left to live for --
See what you have that remains

I have compassion, at least that’s what I try to tell my children.
I can’t even find it within me to kill a mosquito anymore,
and I hate those little bloodsucking mosquitoes, but the sound
the zapper makes when a little unsuspecting mosquito flies
into that little purple light...

A strand of pearls not tied with knots;
we’re held together — just a thread.
At times like sticky spider silk 
and other times a shred of string 
that aches and breaks and throws our pearls across the floor.

The clatter  scatter  marble-mess
of all the dirt...

Heaven only knows where I've been
Only they know what's tearing me down
But Heaven's watching me, watching me
God on his throne with his eternal crown
He only knows what can break me
and He's there with His hand when I do
Each crack in my bones repaired slowly
Without a...

Sail ~ Sail away
Blue Sky and Ocean
On a Bright and Sunny day

Sail ~ Out to sea
Big ship's coming
Time to leave

Goodbye ~have to go
To see ahead ~
What future holds

Please  ~ don't be sad
Soon come a Whats-app~
"Pack your bags"

We're gonna be together ~ Despite stormy weather
Sometimes...

I try to avoid the pending pain
It's impossible, like trying to stop rain
Issues surround me everywhere
Creating a harsh reality of fear
It's not about not having faith inside
It's just a trap with no-where to hide
A place where answers can't be found
A place with lack of nature...

Don’t judge me because I am not like you
We are all human, but different too
We have our experiences and ways we cope
To survive life’s curves and slippery slope
Sometimes, we try our best and still fall
Other times, it is easy to stand tall
Some days feel heavy,...

Journey through Life  ©

happiness, the fire
forges our steel to withstand
pain and thorny times

laughter melts metal
cold bath sets the steel mettle
fine blade to cut life

blade wrapped in fine silk
until the next battle comes
pain and blood drip down...

A child's view:

"Why did you leave us dear mom and dad?"
"Did we do something to make you mad?"

Tears on our faces, as we see you drive away.
"Please come back, we'll be good everyday!"

Our foster mother hates us, we don't know why.
Maybe she hits us, because...

My self esteem never peaked
Mental abuse always leaked
From your foul and mean mouth
All my dignity just flew south
And never came back again
Your so proud that you could win
The power of my sad heart
Broken from the very start
I was born -- it never ended
Young and naive...

The tears of a lifetime
I have saved in my heart
Each chamber a well
Calmly doing its part.

Some tears are so happy
First kiss, wedding, births
Those tears feel lighter
Gravity less than earth’s.

They are clear and they sparkle
A biographical snow globe
I swim in their light
In a crystal wardrobe.

The sad...

Into the darkness she envelopes the night
Seeking something special that eludes her eyes
Just as she thought it was lost and out of sight
Her hand catches on fire, there is no disguise
She starts to burn, her body covered in flames
She starts to remember bullies and their...

They say sticks and stones may break my bones but I 
came face to face with a wall today.
I keep on searching but I'm lost
I keep on climbing but I'm falling
I'm walking but your pulling me back
Haven't you had enough of the scars that I...

It is a sin
for Gregory to be a miser
even to himself
accumulating infinite fortune
with a half-bedroom to show for it

It is a sin
for miss Zane to gain special gratitude
from her male mates.
Coming late every night
with a different driver,
parading her flashy dividends
as she becomes a model for...
