Title: This Pain

Poem: My heart, it aches a thousand pains,
A feeling of despair I cannot explain;
I feel secluded, by myself, all alone,
I thought I had moved on, I thought I had grown;
I’ve gotten the help and I take the meds,
So why must I remain so f*cked in the head;
This pain is mine and I fear it will stay,
I pray for the ugliness to go away;
It engulfs my soul and turns it black,
What am I missing, is it hope that I lack?
This battle I fight, it wears me out,
The unbearable pain fills me with doubt;
At times like this I simply close my eyes,
And envision letting go and saying good-bye....
