Pain

There in the dark it beats
Pounding, breaking me down.
Harder, faster and unrelenting it torments me.
Sharper than a knife’s point
And heavier than lead
It pounds.

Unseen, but ever present it remains
Hidden in a catacomb, similar to the darkest cave
It beats me,
Some days it overpowers, some days I do,
It pounds within.

Incomprehensible to all,
Except to those who have also experienced its
Unrelenting reminder of power.
So I grin and bear it with a smile
Yet dark it remains, as it
Pound in me.
Forever pounding, biting,
Reminding me…
It tries to kill me, slowly,
Yet, I beat still
                                                 And I, I pound it.  Unseen.  Pain.  Me.

  2. I was so excited you posted something new, and with so much passion and YOU in it, that I didn't really comment on the content, just my excitement.

    But then, really, I don't know what to say. Incomprehensible is right. I try to understand. I try to be considerate. I try to always remember and always care. But I never really understand what you go through. I often forget.
    And as much as I wish I could better relate. I am happy not to have to know what you go through. I love you! Your strength is amazing. Your persistence and determination is inspiring. (and your writing is beautiful)
