Pain

for better or worse

Best not to notice
the pain that comes on
Commenting on it is perverse
writing poetry about it is worse

 

Poetry in the mind
represents feelings there
Though the words are not kind
it is something to share

 

Everyone has pain
often with its own special name
While some of it is plain
it is all a dirty shame

 

Accept pain while its there
because no one will care
They can't feel your pain
and do not want to share

 

In time it will pass
like it did before
Though some muscles still ache
the whole body is less sore

 

Recovery takes time
so hang in there
No one ever said
life would be fair

 

If someone said it was
they were telling a lie
It will never do any good
to lie there and cry

 

Just stand up and face it
until it goes away
Its the only way to go
if you want a better day

[Coyote Poetry]

Wise words as always. Pain is part of life. A lot of different type of pain. I believe the mental health type pain is hardest to get over. A outstanding poem.
