PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I write about the pain that one feels in his heart,

My life, my world- Hard to tell them apart.

But I bring you into my world- So you can understand my life,

To show you that someone understands your fight.

This is what I write- Whether wrong or right,

But you relate to me- 'Cuz you see that I know what it's like.

I show you the worst of my world- Through the best of me,

It's the best of the curse- Expressed in the words you read.

I plant knowledge in your head- Making you see more clearly,

An eye opening experience- It brought you near me.

Because now you feel me- I've chosen to reveal me,

In the process I revealed the real you- And if only for a moment,

I somehow healed you- Bringing out your best,

And making it shine through the worst- But you still hurt.

But you remember that suffering is gain- And that Love is Pain,

And that the sun is always shining somewhere when it rains.

I show you the gift through the curse- Subliminal messages in each verse,

Each painfully written line- Is a thought directly from my mind,

I critique and test each word I invest,

Going over each possible word- To see which fits best.

And I bring out your best- As you read each line,

Giving you a piece of mind- As you explore through mine.
