The Many Forms of Pain

Pain isn't always in tears,
Sometimes it's also present in smiles,
An unnerving sense of emptiness,
That can reach for miles and miles.

It starts off as a tiny sting,
A signal of something gone wrong,
And then it reverberates,
Until it echoes into a song.

Every person has felt it,
In their own unique way,
A pain that can't be seen,
But lingers day by day.

Some try to mask it,
With a smile on their face,
But deep inside they're fighting,
A battle at their own pace.

It's the pain of lost love,
So hard to put in words,
The grief of missing someone,
Who once made life a blur.

It's the pain of insecurity,
That keeps you up at night,
The fear that you're not enough,
That somehow you're not right.

It's the pain of disappointment,
When things don't go as planned,
A reminder that we're human,
And sometimes we just can't.

It's the pain of regret,
When we look back on our past,
And wish we'd made different choices,
That were destined not to last.

It's the pain of illness,
A body that betrays,
A constant reminder,
Of a fight that never fades.

It's the pain of loss,
When a loved one is no more,
The ache that fills your heart,
And never leaves your core.

It's the pain of mental strife,
The anxiety and the pain,
That takes ahold of our thoughts,
And drives us all insane.

It's the pain of being lonely,
Of feeling all alone,
A hole that's left unfulfilled,
Of needing a place called home.

We all have our own struggles,
And our own pains to bear,
But we're never alone,
We all have someone who cares.

The world can seem so dark,
When pain is all we see,
But out of the ashes of our pain,
Comes a new opportunity.

We find strength in ourselves,
And in those around us too,
We come to realize that pain,
Is what we sometimes go through.

But pain isn't always a bad thing,
It helps us grow and learn,
And if we embrace it with grace,
It's a pain that will not burn.

So let us stand together,
In the face of our despair,
And know that pain will pass,
And love will remain there.
