Curse And A Blessing

What should I write, I wonder...

Through every day pain, I suffer

Wanting to desperately

To reach out to others,

If I had pleasures to share

I certainly would, but until then

It seems my life is filled with despair,

I try too hard to apply a smile

And not let my love always see the pain

That's held deep inside

But some days are not as easy as others

And he holds me through it all

Praying for relief soon

From the pain I endure

And hoping we will not have to live our lives

Battling a disease with no known cure.

I love him dearly for the understanding

He has shown

The love he has given

And with patience, we have grown,

Even knowing there's a possibility that

God may not bless us with

The fortune we would like

Still we are thankful for the 

Strength, compassion, courage and especially

The love we hold

To carry each other through life.

It is clear from this piece you are very in touch with your emotions. You understand the way in which you think, and the line, 'I try to hard to apply a smile', reflects such. Your structure is good as is your rhym scheme which does not follow the over done AABBCC pattern, perhaps some detail to show the specificity of your experience, this might liven it up a little and bring the reader into the experience in addition to granting you satisfaction that your portrayal has been an accurate, close one. Great job! :)

Speaks of a deep faith even in times of turmoil. I recognize a deep appreciation for carrying you through some really tough times that could go either way. I guess that's why they call it blind faith at times. Nice read.

I loved this. You could not find your "pleasure" until you started expressing your "pain". Soemhow you ended up cnuggled up in the comfort of lifes greatest pleasure, the arms of a lover who knows you and your pain and loves you still!
