Hurtful

I don't know if anyone will be able to relate to this, but it's something that basically sums up my life in a few short sentences

I always could take pain
Like a soldier, I'd say

Nothing in this world could ever hurt me
At least not that much that I'd cry about, I'd say

Everyone would always ask, how can you do that
It's a gift, I'd tell 'em

I felt it though, just like anybody else
But I would just ignore it, like I always do

Until that one day, however
When the pain wouldn't go away

There was no ignoring, no stopping
I had no control, you see

It was just there
No reason for it to be

There were times I could claw my own eyes out
From the pain I was feeling

I told them it was way more than I could stand
You never had that before, they'd say

You could always take so much but now you cry
It's not real, they'd say

So they laughed, right in my face
Telling everyone it was a trick, as I walked away

Yet still I was hurting, still I was enduring
And they'll never believe me, I'd say

I can relate to this...nicely written....

[joshua deathdealer]

I can defiantly relate. We can seem to be resilient against all sorts of things but the truth is it still affects us. Excellent work..xx

So much truth in your description of this pain, so many times, if we are able to handle pain, we are expecting to always handle it. We all have limits.

Very nice poem.

[minimanjh]

its vivid, the short sentences help make it even more so

Nice, " hurt or pain is a relative term with respect to subject in question"! He who endures pain knows precisely what is the pain ,the source and how much can he endure! the world can never fathom this!
