Pain
grey
foggy
relentlessly constant
Pain
a curtain over
life
dulling the view
and keeping me
from joining in
Pain
exhausting
I'm fighting through
the curtain
the fog
just to emerge
feeling alone
left on the sidelines
Pain
an evil companion
stealing the spotlight
leaving me
in the shadows
behind the curtain
in the fog.

Pain sucks!
(But your 55 doesn't!)
pain can put us into a fog and it takes some time until the sun breaks through..
You talkin Migraine Pain?
But I guess any pain is the same.
Hate the pain, LOVE your 55 Tina.
OUCH!!!
Thanks for playing, thanks for visiting, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
I hope this is not about you as in current state here and now. As always, very well written.
Tina...that pain can come in so many forms. and sometimes, just sometimes, what we experience on a personal level gets transposed into really remarkable poetry. I like how this piece brought me into that world where I could be empathetic with that person going through his/her struggle. Wonderful.
Nicely done. I feel your....
I feel your pain,
so powerful imagery.
fabulous 55.
Oh boy!!! I wish dictionaries had these definitions of pain in them!! Cuz these are just perfect!! And with feeling too!
Poignant stuff here.... excellent!
I have the strong impression that this is what you feel; often. It makes me wish I could take away your pain.
