PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We all know the saying

Experience is the best teacher

For me it wasn’t the experience

But the pain the greets one

Internally it’s as if I’ve died

If it weren’t for my tears

I wouldn’t know I was alive

Hurt so bad I craved death

My pain deepened with each breath

That was taken

I was mentally breaking

Shaking from sobs I could no long keep inside

My heart and breath quicken as I cry

Why?

The question not so easily explained

Why?

I screamed in torment and shame

Why? Is what I searched for

As if it would stop and ease my pain

Why? Was the blame and reason

Yet couldn’t answer..



What I felt through this experience

“Why” Should have ended

But I mistook it for the beginning

Pain is the teacher who taught me

My most valuable lesson

Manifesting my hurt

To one of my life’s cherished

Blessing
