Pain

Is there ever an end
To this emotion named Pain?
Or does it just subside
After a good cry in the rain?

We all know pain
In many different ways
It's like the wind
It never truly ends

For some
It's a distant cousin.
For others
It's a best friend

For me
It's something
I've known
Since the beginning

It's like the clouds
Sometimes I remember
That it's there,
Spinning round and round

Other times
I completely forget
And ignore them all
Until I'm hit with a wall of regret

Pain is my subconscious
That has yet to fail
Bringing attention to itself
Causing everything else to derail

Especially in happy times
Where Pain is easiest to find
In my life, heart,
And true-to-self mind

I fight back
But it continues
To wreak havoc on me
For it to be amused

I wish Pain
Was not so
I'd wish it was gone
But then I'd never know

Where does pain go though?
When I'm purely happy
Does it fade until the
Perfect time to hit me?

Or does it find some one else?
Destroy all they know
Just because I'm happy
Not being tossed to and fro'

If it was so,
I'd take it all as a trend
Because I know after all of it
I'd still have a friend.

A friend we all know
Although not so embraced
Called integrity
That my heart has interlaced

I'd keep that
Faithful friend,
If I could,
Until the end

Pain keeps
Beating me down
But I'll stay strong
And refuse to wear a frown.

I hope you do too
For this Pain
Is not giving up
Without plenty of restraint

It won't go away
In a few days
No matter
What you do anyways

So fight back
Give it your all
Don't give in
Don't you dare fall

I wish you luck
With this life long task
Live happy while you can
Without Pain hiding behind your mask.
