My Pain

My Pain

A Poem by potato

Do I know pain?
I have been through thick and thin,
Never again to trust men,
I know pain.

What is pain?
It is all the lies,
Causing so many gray skies,
That is pain.

Do I know pain?
All the bruises I have hid,
And all the lies I have bid,
I know pain.

What is pain?
It is all the words that they said,
And the many lives that I have lead,
That is pain.

This is my pain.
Hiding all the scars,
Living behind locked bars,
This is my pain.

It s renders a voice in the work...
yet releasing the pain ---
and admitting to it...
and finding a resolution...
is a way to break the bond from it...
what does not kill you ---
only makes you stronger...
yet abuse should not be tolerated in anyway...
there is a difference in abuse and protecting yourself...
at times -- people use the deceptive ---
by saying it was abuse --- when all in fairness...
it was self defense...and get away with it...
or self injuring themselves and blaming another for the action...
