Holiday of Pain
Copyright 2001
Written by James Edward Shields


Sometimes people just don’t understand
Sometimes they can’t comprehend
Always against the grain
Against the wind
Holiday of pain

Sometimes it’s like a disaster runaway
Sometimes people just don’t want to see
Ignore things around them
Ignore possibility
Holiday...
Holiday of pain

Sometimes I feel like hating
Sometimes it’s more like love
Sometimes I love to hate
And others I hate to love
Step into my world
A holiday of pain
Love it more each day
And hate it all the same

Things that I make others feel
Things I make them think
Eats me up
But then it don’t
Holiday of pain

Things people make me feel
Things they make me think
Can just toll off my back
Or drive me insane
Holiday...
Welcome to my world
Holiday of pain

Good cannot exist without evil.  Darkness I embrace.

People can not possibly understand
nor comprehend where she has been.
Seeing out for herself
living within her reasons.  
In the realms of an uncertain destiny
that is often mistaken for fate.
Only to be carried by the winds of change
that have blown everywhere,
landing somewhere
faraway on an island in the sun.
She takes comfort in her seclusion
where others have made the connection
but never truly see the attraction.
Perceived as a castaway
adrift in a desperate situation
perhaps even destitute, she's heard them say.
But it is only she who knows her needs  
and what she can live with and without
fending for herself,
which is all she's ever had
and all that she is left with.
So like your holiday of pain
and those you hate to love
in time she's learned to ignore them.

If you don't mind I might just post it sometime, with all due respect.  Great poem, wonderful thoughts.  I gotta say your title really grabbed me, hook line and sinker.  What are holidays for anyway!
Nice writing DP~

I feel honored to receive such a reponse.  Almost speachless infact.  With a reponse such as this I would have to say yes, you can use it  

Good cannot exist without evil.  Darkness I embrace.

Embracing the darkness is enlightening for some. I will look at the link you offered. BTW, nice to meet you here on the blue pages.
