A Painful Day

This one is about a moment, a day that was one of the worst days of my life. Open to your interpretation :)

The pain still lingers from that depressing day,

I wanted it so bad only for it to blow away.

The agony, the heart break, too much to take;

Crying in my sleep but not wanting to awake.

 

My heart was broken, cut and left bleeding

And I couldn’t see where this was leading.

That horrible moment replays in my mind,

This is a wound that doesn’t heal with time.

 

I shut my emotions off to avoid the pain,

Dysfunction becomes the way I stay sane.

I wonder if someday this wound will heal…

Or is this an illusion and none of it’s real?

Wounds may heal but scares will replace your old wounds but at least the pain has swayed. Sometimes I also get the feeling that my mind is playing tricks with me and shutting of the emotions is indeed a way to feel no pain, but never forget: no pain, no gain. Pain is temporary, salvation is permanent.

Good job :D

Hi AAron. My heart is bleeding after reading this!!! You cut to the quick of your emotion and gave it everything in your heart. No hiding behind fancy words . . . just as you felt it!!! That's what makes this such a terrific write and such a sad read. I certainly hope you have gained some measure of hope since this was written, alf

[AaronFreitas]

Oh yea... like I was saying in another response the feelings in this write are actually from many years ago. I kind of put myself in my shoes from that day to write... not the same feeling now but it was good to write about it and without revealing what it was about :) Appreciate your review buddy :)

The ending is a thinker! Perhaps all of our pain is an illusion?

[AaronFreitas]

It is possible... or self created in self-pity. Appreciate the review buddy :)

[marcus]

Perhaps reality..is self created!

[AaronFreitas]

That's a very good possibility... good thought!

[andrew mitchell]

ok Aaron the black plague has engulfed your thoughts and you are in need of pain killers desperately and throat lozenges with this great write before I hear you scream as well!!

[AaronFreitas]

Haha thanks buddy... pain killers would lead to addiction... addiction would lead to more bad choices and some darker writes... I'll settle for some Sour Gummy Worms... always brightens my day lol... appreciate your review my friend :)

Aaron, There was a poet who said, "I didn't know my life was dysfunctional till one day, all of a sudden, nothing was all fucked up!" I love the line "Dysfunction becomes the way I stay sane." Well said, well written piece. take care...dan

[AaronFreitas]

Haha that sounds just like my life.... it does make for good writing material... like a life of stories within my life :) Appreciate your review buddy

[Shea McWilliams]

I love that this is relatable in more ways than one. It's also personal though so I do quite love it. Bit sad, obviously but it's a really good piece of writing and I like it a lot. Great job!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much. Definitely personal... the feelings are all honest feelings. I just left out what it was I was feeling this towards so others could read and relate seamlessly :) Appreciate your kind review Shea :)
