Why do we hurt?

Why do we hurt?

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Why do we hurt?

Why do we hurt
Why is there so much pain
Why does it seem
Like some people
Just never catch a break
It can feel
Like some people are stuck
Repeating the same cycle 
Getting stuck in the same cycles
The cycles of hatred
The cycle of pain
The cycle of violence
Feeling regret
Over the things we have done
We all have to deal with some pain in our lives
It is part of living
We all have our own trials
We just have to learn
To grow
To change
To make ourselves a little better
Than we were the day before
Breaking the cycles
Getting to better places in our lives
Where we can step away from the hurt
Even all the regret and the pain
And start stepping toward peace

I think breaking the cycle starts in the mind. Change how you see yourself and your actions are bound to change and that leads to less regret and pain etc. This is wonderful. There is depth behind your poetry. Leaves me thinking deeply about what I have read. Great job.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.
Your prose hits on a lesson we all must face. Though, it seems some have a lot more pain and lessons than others-we are all on the same path! Great write!

Thank you. I really enjoy your poetry as well
Totally love the message of the poem, things are always a cycle, and if no one is willing to change, to break through the cycle, then everything is going to work like it does, no matter is a good way or not.
Nice written! And nice flow!
