When quiet pain enters your back door
The things we humans do
O to cancel the stinging sore
Such things we drive each other to
Distractions dancin' taps 'round my spinal core

How does one suffer as well as you
Hold on tight, stock up on strife
Sacrifice feelings, kill false hopes
Babe, burn those bridges,
Just try to cope

The play's a tragedy of condition
Drop the blame and blade from your breast
The part is yours without audition
Ride cool waves from ebb to crest
Try a journal of tight contrition
Is angry life not still hev'nly blest

Welcome to Passions and welcome your words of wisdom!! Anger gets you nowhere, the sooner some people realise, the better. Like the journal idea too, but if you are really, really mad, you hand hurts from writing before you are anywhere near finished!! I'll be watching for more of these words of wisdom..

Thanks danni for seeing what is in my words, they come from seeing someone close live "quiet pain" and in her living it, I have. I think the start and ending particularly holds something of the mystery of such pain and solution of where to go from here. I'll try to write a follow up poem if that interests you.

I agree about the start and ending. It's bewildering how these feelings creep and linger. I have been trying to find an oulet for my own "quiet pain". I think that I have
by keeping a journal and attempting poetry.
Anyway, I would be very interested in a follow-up.
