Pain and Hurt

what is the meaning

Of pain?

Pain is

What happens when

My boyfriend

Isn't on to talk to me;

When I get bored;

When times are hard.

This is what bain feels like.



When my boyfriend

Isn't on to talk to me,

I feel upset

And pained.

I lose myself,

In my own misery

And hurt.

I get lost

In this feeling,

Sailing away to my

Own land

Of love

And kindness.



I get bored when

There is nothing to do.

I do dumb things,

Such as chewing my nails;

Posting stupid

Good-for-nothing

Things on the forum;

Shooting hoops in the wrong direction;

Doing stupid things

With the basketball,

And many other dumb things.



When times are hard

I make a joke of them;

Not caring what it will

Do to others.



As time goes by,

These things will

Not occur;

They will end for good.



Will I continue to

Sit here and think

Of such foolish things?

Or will I think

Of better

Things instead of

Foolish lies?

I do not know

The answer yet.



The answers to these questions

Lay in the key

Ahead in my path.

I will continue to follow

The steps in my quest

And gain the power to

My wisdom-

Until at last I find

The key to

The answers to my questions.



What is the meaning

Of hurt?

Hurt happens when

I don't talk with

My boyfriend in

A long time;

I am depressed about something;

I am sad--

That's what hurt feels like.



When I don't

Talk with my boyfriend,

I feel hurt-

This is

Because

I really love him,

I worry about him,

And I miss him at times

When I don't

Talk with him.

This is some of

The hurt that is

Inside me.



When I am depressed

About something,

I get really

Agitated with

Emotional and moodiness.

I also drink more

When I'm depressed.

That is also

Some of the hurt

That is inside me.



When I am sad,

I turn myself

Off from the world;

I get furious often

When I am sad.

I get edgy

When I am sad.

This is the rest

Of the hurt

That is inside me.



What should I do

To heal this pain and hurt?

Could I make the wrong

Choices and

Let the pain and hurt

Get to me?

Or should I let

It go?



I will

Go with the right

Choice and let it go.

That will ease my

Pain and hurt.

the other choice

Would have left me

With more

Pain and hurt,

Instead of a good feeling-

The feeling of goodness.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem last year when I was in the worst pain that I could ever imagine in my whole life.

Nicely written poem, Vick. :D It's quite saddening but it's still really professional.
