Pain (Free verse) by TLRufener
Somewhere is a place
Where I belong,
And someday I will find it;
I hope it doesnât take too long.
Iâve shed many tears
Over these blackened plains
And Iâve had many heartbreaks
Without a comfort to be near.
I can see no end
To all of my pain,
And I see no stoppage
For this endless rain.
No one seems to understand
How hard it is
To try and be perfect
In a world where you cannot even live.
Every day
Is just another day,
And each thing they say
Is just another thing they say.
Forgiveness has vanished
From every respect of my life.
And my parents cannot know
Of all of my pain and my strife.
Try as I do
And fail as I do;
They do not seem to notice
That it is all I can do.
One little black mark
Tarnishes the record
And all of the greatness
Never seems to make up for it.
They cannot understand
How Iâm feeling inside
Because they never came this far
In the youth of their lives.
I cannot explain
How hard it is
Because they cannot know
What real strife is.
They had their problems
I know as well;
My problem cannot
Be subsided like they believe.
My inner pain
Is hard to explain
Because I had a larger problem
Than they could ever know.
They think they understand
But they really do not
Because they never had
This type of trouble with their lives.
I must stop this rambling,
For I am feeling quite faint;
Someday this will go,
And so will the rain.
