Poem for Pain
I know the pain that you feel
I have been there, I know
And it hurts, everywhere
It builds up in your stomach
In your hands, in your feet,
In your head, and in you body
But most of all it builds in your heart
Your wish you could just scream
That if you could somehow just scream
The pain would be released
The build up is like pressure in your body
And you can scream, all you want
But unfortunately the pain remains there
Always there, like fire in your heart
There are going to be moments when you don’t cry
When you stop and think, I’m not crying
Where you get to breathe, and think
And you need to be happy for those moments
You need to thank God for those moments
He is giving those moments to you
To give you a break
To give your body time to heal
And in those moments you realize
That everyone of those moments you get
Is only making you stronger
Then day by day, you will cry just a little bit less
Although the pain is still there, the tears subside
The pain takes longer to go away
The tears show the horrible pain, but they do go away
You think the pain will never stop
But you are wrong
One day, it may be soon, it may be far
But one day, you won’t cry at all
And one day you will think of them
And there will be no pain, no tears
Be happy for your memories
Be happy they are there, in your heart
You will remember forever
And those memories are yours
Rejoice in the fact that God has given you those
Hold on to them, share them, keep them
No one can take them away
And then remember…
All of this pain you feel now is worth it
It is worth the pain to have loved someone so much
Right now you wish the pain would just go away
But it is there for a reason
It is there because you loved
You need the pain to remind you of how much you loved
And that is the most beautiful pain you will ever feel
