This Pain
By RP
“This Pain”
It’s hard to bear.
So sometimes I wish,
Nobody would care.
Then I could be free,
To give into my deep felt despair.
But, power grows with numbers.
Power from love continues,
To pull me away From sleepy,
Depressive slumbers.
Strengthening my back
To fight for strength to evolve
Around n around Mother Earth,
How this life has found inner resolve
From ignorance’s self fulfilling perceptions
Evolving from my deepest conscious
Self reflections.
Creations of why second guessing
Questions.
Every moving with This Pain
Attempting to locate
Each twisting turn’s
Blessing!
