Pain Is a Reminder

From my years of living 
I figured out two kinds of pain 
One is physical 
it only last a while 
The second is emotional 
it last forever 
I have experianced both 
they are hell
But if I had to chose the worst 
It would be the emotional pain 
Because you never get over it

Easier To Run

It’s easier to run
Than to stand and face the defeating sun
It’s easier to hide
Than to reveal all this pain inside

It’s easier to run
Than to ponder on all that has been done
It’s easier to fade
Than to dwell on all the mistakes that you made

It’s easier to run
Than to admit that you are the one
It’s easier to complain
Than to stand strong and face the pain

Life can be hard at times
And worry and pain can weigh you down
But keep your head held high
And your feet planted firmly on the ground
Draw your strength from in your heart
And trust in what you cannot see
Remember always that tomorrow will come
And no one ever said that this life would be easy

The End

Premium Member Frightful Storms

Storms that frighten the heart
Come in many varieties
The swift, windblown storm
Is fast and furious
Very painful at first
But later finding relief
There’s the lightning storm
Comes in quick as flash
Damages a lot of area
And pain continues on after
The long hard storm
Is still yet another
It might slowly come in
But once there
Pounds with solid force
Excruciating pain all over
All during and all after
The horror of such a storm
Is its continuous hurt
The pain never seems to cease
All storms of the heart
Come with terror
All you can do against it
Is to hope there is peace
A calmness in the frightful storm
Before it arrives

May It Be

May it be the pain you feel
Or the love thats lost for life
Hang onto your happiness
Hold onto your smile
Because lifes not so bad
The pains only lasts
For a little while
And a new love will be found 
And the pain will heal
May it be the loss of a life
Or the hate you feel towards someone
Hold onto the good 
Hold onto the hope
And remember theres always tomorrow
Theres always another happy moment
To heal your wounds.

They say that time has a way of healing
Hearts, that have experienced too much pain.
Each day brings opportunities to gain
Distance from the pain that you were feeling.
As time goes by, you continue dealing,
Inwardly, with the pain that may remain,
Limiting the pressure of the insane
Yesterdays, that always had you kneeling.
Relieve yourself of the pains of the past,
Even if they are difficult to face.
Prepare yourself, and prepare yourself fast,
Or remain stuck in the very same place.
Remember that this pain will never last
Too long, as long as you face it with grace.

Back Ache

As I sat alone with my back ache                           
Looking for ways to ease the pain                           
I felt soft hands on my back                                              
As a gentle form moulded against me                         

Looking for ways to ease the pain                     
My hands caressed her tousled hair                                
As a gentle form moulded against me            
Pleasure mingled with pain

My hands caressed her tousled hair
I felt soft hands on my back
Pleasure mingled with pain
As I sat alone with my back ache

My Pain

My pain runs deep,
Deep into the parched land, 
A land where night dares not fall,
And kiss its soiled bosom.
Yet this pain I feel is what makes me,
Me.

My Pain Grew Older

I did not know pain when I was born
and even though the crying pierced the cold air
She was born with me
as my twin …

In my walk through a street without exit
she reached for me with her tough hands
pulling me towards her
Up to the tears…

My pain grew older
Under the shelter of my eyelashes landed without apostatize 
The light of my spirit casted her away
But she kept returning again and again…
Again ...
Now, after so long is still knocking 
With anonymous names revolves around me
Acts softly and smoothly ..
looking for some life ...
Grew old my childbirth pain
Covered in grey hair 
as she shakes now lifeless in my hands…
me

Soldiers Lament

Constantly dreaming of thing's I can't see,
running away from the pain inside me,
knowing I have what it takes to be,
but falling pray to a monster disease.

  The strength that I have , I stole from my mom,
The love that I hold came from my son.
the pain I feel is cause they are gone,
and still I keep walking this road I am on.

  It's a soldiers life, I take what I need
the only war that I fight is inside of me,
looking to win and praying for peace,
home is a dream I wanna believe.......
                          Lost in the world of life on the streets

I Wonder

Sometimes
I wonder
If my life would
Be better if i disappear
Would the darkness Disappear
Would i live in fear
Only if there was a cure to 
Counter this pain 
If there was a cure it 
Would be a long fight
Really wish there was
A way to make the stress gone
This pain had no relations with my body
so why is it so attach to my heart
No Jacket No Blanket ain't bearable 
For this Cold World
Seems to me in my eyes
In my Vision
That Life is Game that
We all gotta play
And that Pain and Stress are the
two Enemies that we gotta face

Eyes

my cold lifeless eyes bare to what the world  has shown it not afraid to look into the valley 
and forecast the past only able to recollect what is there not what was;
lost in the unseen and blinded by the essence of presence afraid to blink but hold the power 
to look past the flesh and break down the soul;
so now that the time has come to rest them and endulge in the dream land my cold lifeless 
eyes  presents its findings, the day as night the night as pain and the pain as the life that 
was once there;
so dare to look into my cold lifeless eyes and see what you find

Untitled

Stop!
What's this wrenching pain that's piercing through me
It's like it has no end and is going in circles around and around
Hoping over again that the pain will go away
But it seems so impossible
You think if you forget about the problems it'll just disappear
Wrong!
The more you try to run away the faster it will hit you
The quicker you run the more the pain gets to you
Your mind 
Your heart 
Your soul
You finally feel it
It's got you and you can't move
You try to scream but you can't move
You can't help but cry
You try to scream but you can't make a sound
This pain
It's got you 
And now there's no escape.

Life Is a Big Game

My brain it hurts from pressure
That builds within my head
I could probably be coarser
But then I might be dead

I try to make some happy
But am lost in the idea
It can make me feel so crappy
And fill me with nausea

I hurt from head to toe
And need some pain reliever
Sure wish that I could go
And be a good retriever

This pain that fills my body
Would make some people cry
Though some will just stare blankly
And others watch the sky

Some pain is more than physical
It builds within the mind
You can treat it with a capsule
Or even just be kind

Life is a big game
Where we don’t get out alive
And if we were the same
Then what would you contrive

The Eternal Cycle

A man could raise a nation
Free all from being bound
And yet in the space of time
It wouldn't make a sound.

A girl feels her aching heart
The intolerable pain in her chest
But little does she realize
She's no different from the rest.

For all the good we do
And all the pain we must endure
It's doubtful that any one of us
Has made our world more pure.

Perhaps our actions will last
For a century or two
But in the end it all goes back
No matter how much good we do.

What Would I Wish

If i had three wishes what would i do with them
would i make the pain go away
or maybe even love......
maybe I could pause time and be every were at once
hum...if i had three wishes what would i do with them
do anybody know?
would i wish a very simple wish  
or maybe something that you would never think to come true
I do know I would take my time and wish very hard
I would wish for three wishes that i know i would love
time...
forgiveness...
or no pain for my family
that's three wishes and i bet they might come true
