Pain Defined

What is pain to you and I?
Do you know?
Does anyone know?
Many people in the 'normal' world
have no idea at all.
Pain is a senseless word
One that I know all too well
Others though have many complaints
but do they really know?
Some complain of temporary pain
that will soon go away
but what of us?
they dare to ask
shutting their eyes from what we tell
Pain is everything
we live it each day
it never, ever goes away
not a day of peace
not a minute of rest
It is ever present with each passing day
It takes over and makes you cry,
it's in every place
it does not matter
do you see it? Do you hear it?
NO, but one can really feel it
It burns with might and fury
leaves you sleepless,
weak and worried...
deep and massive like the sea
clashing silently, punishing without ease
Its color you ask,
many I say-
Red, green, purple, blue
it does not matter who
Breathe in, breathe out
can you hear it?
It breaths with you
The pain is indestructible
you beg and plead
Please no more
go away and leave me be
just one day
just twenty- four hours,
leave me and be no more
sorry to say with great displeasure
that pain is deaf
and does not obey.
So gather your weapons for the battle
Humor
self-control
and most of all
not to give up on the battle of pain
must outwit it
its battle you cant win
but sometimes control can come
making friends with
what has become an enemy
learning to live
pain within
that's what pain is..
