Beauty In My Pain

I hear you coming; I see rage in your eyes,
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
Your hate for me I will never understand,
I was the one always there to hold your hand.
Did you see beauty in my pain?
Your fists are tight; your voice is mean,
Why can’t anyone hear me scream?
I take a breath before I feel the blow,
I know you will never let me go.
Did you see beauty in my pain?
You say you love me that it will never happen again,
I always believe you in the end,
Where is my strength; where is my pride,
I have to dig deep inside.
The only beauty in my pain is that now I’m strong enough,
I climbed out of the grave you made for me scared and scuffed,
Knowing you might be waiting at the top,
I see my own beauty now that you will never see,
From the beauty in my pain I can now see the beauty in loving me.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder

this is a superb poem with a trully fantastic climax, pain and pride make for good words to pen. Keep it up


this is not the end, this is not the begining of the end, this is merely the end of the begining.
