I've found that the hardest thing for me to master is physical pain.
Because it speaks more loudly to body, mind, and soul.
I cannot shout it down nor forcibly push it away.
But in steady patience and humility
I can last it out with equanimity.
And once it becomes quiet
That quiet will be
The only thing
That ever
was.
Christopher M. Swan 2009
Dressing room to try dresses on.
It was a no-go.
Pain was agonizing, excruciating.
To make matter worse -
4 teens in one dressing room,
2 girls, 2 guys.
Can you tell me why
the department store staff doesn’t
handle this and it is as if you
are the complainer, as if
they are doing you a favor.
Then I hear the guys
and their excuses. Oh the pain.
“Honey, it’s not you, but I can’t stay.”
I tell this to my husband, and we’re
on our way. The timing was all off.
I just couldn’t take it. It was psychological.
It was physical. It was too much.
It was pretty much a 9 out of 10,
just before tears. I will try again soon
to find a dress for my cruise.
Doc has spurred me on my way.
Took a month to get in as a new
patient…oh to be that patient!
I have been to the depths of despair
With physical pain
Emotional sorrow
And something more elusive
A sense of standing at the edge
With nothing behind or beyond.
I don’t assume this is anything special
In fact I assume it is a given
For all of us
Who have lived at least
To a certain age.
What I have learned
Which may be of some solace
To those in these depths now
Or there someday soon
Is that we can endure more pain
Than we ever could imagine
And that when our life ends
As it eventually does
That pain is gone
As if it never existed.

My Pain is invisible to one's naked eyes
With no emotional sensitivity. My Pain
Physical collateral damages awakened me
Consistently from a sound sleep. My Pain
Emotionally pain is overwhelming, racing
thoughts, vulnerability, traumas, and grief often
haunt me. My Pain
Abrasive relationships and familiar faces encounter
me with no emotional sensitivity and no support.
Material losses, lessons gained I don't want no
more pain. My Pain
Sleep deprivation body torn apart living with this constant pain is tearing me apart.
Crying out in anger crying out in sorrow topping up with painkillers
Hoping that I can sleep and be okay tomorrow.
I have physical scars that everyone can see scars of every kind
But the scars that hide away are the scars hiding in my mind.
I try to hide them all away in the reassess of my mind and hope that the night that comes will be a little kind.
But this just wishful thinking and I’m living in a dream the pain that is haunting me only lets out a silent scream.
So I will face the days ahead and suffer this with my pain
Looking for a miracle cure so I my sleep again.

From life events I’m left scarred and bruised,
so “Tough Old Bird” are words others have used.
Due to circumstances God has seen me through,
I’ve survived each event but I’m far from new.
I’ve forty-eight scars at my last physical count,
most all tell a story that sometimes I recount.
Thankfully, most are in places that go unseen,
and I choose to remember the good times between.
Sometimes pain demands I recall some story,
that I’d sooner forget.

I’ve been personally acquainted with all sorts of pain,
but through each installment Jesus was my crutch.
My feelings were real not something I would feign,
sometimes my pain was brought on during a clutch.
I’ve known physical pain and anguish of the heart,
but Jesus sympathized with my weakness and pain.
For He was tempted in all things not just in a part,
no matter what comes next I’ll try not to complain.
Thank you Jesus,
for blessing me with a high pain tolerance.

Physical pain
Emotional pain
One affects the body
The other, mind and brain
Pain is painful
Wherever it attacks
It is not gainful
That is a matter of fact
It's not physical cold,
Nor the hunger, bold;
It's lack of human dignity,
And their psychic malignity;
Turns chalices of our nights,
Wilder than wild-beast bites...

Mental
mortal traumatic anxiety
is a metaphor for physical pain experience
As anticipating personal therapeutic healing
is analogically connected to absence
of win/lose cultural pathology
in a bad air
anxious atmosphere
climate.
Atheism about sacred healing Benefactors
is not so much a theological position
as it is a disconnected memory,
disembodied experience,
dissociatively anthrosupremacist,
non-panentheistic
In a secularizing monocultural climate
often PatriarchalCapitalist nationalistic,
fear and anger-rooted
cognitive/affective chronic dissonance,
dis-ease,
stress,
detachment from Whole Systemic Healthy EarthMother's
traumatic
laborious
nihilistic experience
of autonomously stressed-out
disordered monotheistic
supremacist inhumanity.
Oh, Lord, I think we need a magic knob
that's somewhere on one arm discreetly placed.
When activated, it would softly throb,
alerting us to nearby pain it traced.
At this time, we'd adjust our hidden disc,
permitting us to live another’s woe
with comprehension flowing, at no risk;
a moment, and our fellow man we’d know!
Their physical impairments we would feel;
their cancer growths; their each disease and ache.
Great grief, depression – all would be made real
and wisdom gleaned for everybody’s sake.
Or would we with our gift be soon repulsed
and fill with hate for those for whom it pulsed?

I've had no physical pain
that compared to the pain
of temporarily losing a friend.
Likewise,
no healing process has equaled
the sudden joy felt
when that friend returned.
