Pain

Pain

A Poem by Jon Roggie

Sounding like a bit of a whine?
Maybe.
You need to let it build.
Mine was minor,
  only a fractured knee.
Not that it was the only thing.
Spin back the clock,
  and I bring up the twins.
One is my mom,
 so this hits close to home.
Polio.
It still sinks in.
Bring up my niece?
One kidney.
What kind of point am I trying to make?
I just get tired of the whining.
Not the only one.
Learn how to use the pain to help.
Little incentive to try.
Suffer in silence is no way to go.
Try to scream against the silence.
