I feel your hurt

I feel your hurt

I can feel your hurt
I know that you are in pain
Don't worry
I am here
I know you are there
Standing in the dark
Even if you are not aware
I feel your pain
Whoever you are
Out there in the dark
Come back to yourself
It's never too late to step back
And to look at yourself
And where you are going
And accept yourself
And accept who you are
To move past the hurt
To move on 
And more importantly
To move past the barriers that tell you
You aren't worth helping
Ignoring the pain
Alienating yourself
And ultimately shielding yourself
From everyone else around you

This is a sweet poem and I am sure it can be true, but speaking from experience, sometimes you feel alienated because other people do not want to be around your pain. A lot of people you would have thought would be there for you, just disappear.

I love that this poem isn't about ignoring the hurt but more about feeling the pain and dealing with it appropriately...with people who love you! Yet another inspiring...heartfelt poem Ahmad!

Sometimes moving past the ignoring the pain is easier said than done, but you make a good point in saying that "To move past the barriers that tell you
You aren't worth helping" - this is a big step and everyone is worth helping, it's getting there, that is the hardest.

A lot of people don't realize it until its too late

You have an inspiring, caring spirit that comes through in your poems. You write honestly, and in such a way that it feels like a good friend's hand on a shoulder. Beautiful.

Thank you. That means a lot.

I like this one. I agree where you said "It's never too late to step back
And to look at yourself
And where you are going
And accept yourself"

I believe we all need to take time and look at who we are and find the good in yourself.

[Ahmad Cox]

Yep. We all need a little push in the right direction every once in a while.

I really love this! I agree, it has a very positive message, which I like :D
the only thing I would change is the "u" at the end to "you"
