Thanks @ Don for the inspiration word..that inspired this....

pain has a purpose
I keep trying
to convince myself
of this notion
but I would rather
have a cut or bruise
than to deal with
emotional or mental
Anguish..

I don’t cry often
I write habitually
Even though…
I wish I could
get wet from ear to ear
maybe that would help
release the water build up
instead I drench
pieces of paper
to let my words cry

pain is pleasure
I can’t explain it
it’s like getting a piercing
I’ve had more than a few
unlike tattoos
their easier to remove
pain isn’t always permanent
if you don’t deal with it though
it will come back lurking
twice as bad
should have dealt with it
when you had a chance
should have found some therapy
to release whatever it maybe
because pain isn’t forever
unless you continue to live in it
presently…..

I know about pain
to be the year of the Jordan
I’ve seen a lot of stuff
to be only 23
but the pain
only burnt me up
and left me with scars
but I am still here
to show others
how if their strong
they can heal like me
Never put bandages
on scars
you have to let them
breathe…
