So the story keeps going on Spinning and spinning in dizzy circles I don’t think I can get it to stop Things just keep happening to make it faster The scars get worse and worse Deeper every time I move I just can’t find the right way To reverse this tangled mess It could be like night and day I hate the day, it reveals my identity But during the night I can hide All by myself to be engulfed in pain I keep wondering If I should face the day To overcome my fears of life The pain it just keeps giving But why go through the pain? Will it make me stronger? I may get to the point to overcome The pain and reach happiness. But why would I go through that Is it worth it? Is it really worth being hurt again? Who can have the real answer? |

I don't think I have the answer to your question, except that pain is a part of life and if we didn't know pain how could we recognize joy. I feel the anquish in your writing and thanks for sharing sharyn |

Can I recommend Keats' Ode to Melancholy to you? You might find some solace there. The line between pleasure and pain is very fine, if you hide from one, the other might hide from you. Only in taking risks are we free  Great poem btw! |

Pain's a given, my friend...it's what makes ecstasy such raptorous delight. If you don't seek the emotional wonder that a relationship, or 'ships', can give...you will not know anything but pain, with no chance for pleasure. One HAS to take the chance . . . or, what good is being able to love (speaking only of 'relationships here'). What's important, is not, 'should I seek..." or 'chance another' . . . but putting the one behind and Moving On To Another. No two days are identical, and all are not wonderful or life would be terribly boring for sure. I've been there, my friend, many years ago, and several times. . .but I never gave up and if the present 34 years went down the drain...I'd still, not give up. Loving is too precious.

People are always down on pain, which is understandable. But what people forget about it, is that pain doesn't have to be a bad thing. Sure most pain sucks, but not all of it. Theres heartbreak and despair, yes, but there's also the pain of new experinces,of breaking out of your shell. Theres the sweet, joyful pain of loving and sharing with another. And if you're lucky,theres the sharp pain of realizing you are standing in a moment of utter perfection, triumph or happiness that can't possibly last, but at the same time will stay with you forever. People are always down on pain. But one last thing to remember Rain is that pain, no matter what flavor it is, is only for the living. Only the dead don't feel pain. And where there is life, and therefore pain, there is always hope. Muna seasaimid le ceartas, ní sheasfaidh ceartas linn - Francis Bacon |
