Two Sides of Pain

I want people to know you can be your own hero because sometimes you need to be. Simple gestures or things in life could be more important to you than others will ever understand.

How could so much pain

come from inside your head. 

Paralyzing you down to your breathe

Until you've seen your life hanging by a thread.

With darkness all around you

and no ones hand to reach for,

you give up before you notice

there are two sides in this war. 

You're blinded by the feeling of anxiety, 

Too much so to see the fight. 

you still have a chance to beat this

sometimes you have to work harder to see the light. 

It's there in someone's hug, 

Or when they say to put on a coat. 

Even Mother Nature knew the dark is scary, 

hence the shining moon and stars afloat. 

In the deep, dark sky they sit

Waiting for you to see, 

they are burning themselves out

to give light when it's dark as can be. 

No matter what you feel

Pain can go away

Not through scars or death, 

But living to see a new day. 

Help can be hard to find 

So look for it all around

Because someone somewhere needs you

It's okay to be lost before you are found.  

Author's Note

Everyone can beat their problems and I know that can be really hard. I hope this poem could help someone somewhere and show them that if they continue to fight, life will get better. I hope everyone enjoys I would appreciate any comments.

We live by "Hope" - and with it. And despair when we lose it.
