~Growth Hurt~ The pain I swallow As I’m growing still Is a pain to seize If it pleased your will My pain is silent To protect your ears You cannot feel it So wash 'way my tears You convince yourself That I just complain. So my feeble cry Is the cause of pain? As I cry all night You will yell at me If I whimper soft It’s incessantly The cabinet’s bare And the pain is hot If you’d only care If you’d only thought My legs are screaming With the pains of growth Out of sight, your mind I was always both...

Hey, "My pain is self chosen..." too, "so the perfect says." Also, "My pain is self chosen, at least I believe it to be." I know you remember these lyrics Walt. Anywho, this is gr8! Silent pain is so cool! You convince yourself That I just complain. So my feeble cry Is the cause of pain? Pain makes you stong! How strong ru? |

Good one, Walt. I hope you don't mind when I say that I read a good bit inside this beauty of a poem. I know the message intended, and the other messages it could be. Just my mind working. |

Wow, you said a mouthful here, Walt. Pain sucks! All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 07-03-2001).] |
