No Stranger To The Pain

no stranger to the pain

All my life
has been an uphill struggle
I tried to balance
but all I did
was juggle

seems like
I have the mark of cain

I am no stranger
to the pain

I,ll make it up that hill
if
it be Gods will
and
hope that I
will see you again

got nothing to loose
got everything to gain

I am no stranger
to the pain

Will there be peace
will I ever reach my goal
only God really knows

I dont point fingers
there is no one to blame

I am no stranger
to the pain

Has it all been pointless
has it all been
in vain

I am no stranger
to the pain

the many mistakes
have left a stain
here I sit
in the pouring rain

Will I ever make it back
to the mountain
or
Will I go up
in a burning flame

I am no stranger
to the pain

Storm clouds
are gathering
there plain to see
but
when I reach that mountain
I know
I will be free

My life poured out
most of it
went down down the drain

I am no stranger to the pain

2009 HC Holbert

I know just what you mean. this one really struck a chord in me. Our choices are our own, but sometimes we wonder about why we choose that which we know will bring us pain. We live on through it, and hope to be understood or forgiven for the things we have done to bring it upon ourselves. Only to never reach the dream completely or for long enough. I really liked this one. many can relate to the regret, and the misery of living through the pain. Write on....

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
