No gain

as they say, no pain, no gain ....

I want to share with you

My everyday situation

Not out of the ordinary

Likely to cause a trepidation

 

To follow my footsteps

And understand what I feel

You have to get to the state

Where your body steers the wheel

 

When I wake up in the morning

And every morning is modus operandi

I wiggle my toes and shake my legs

To see if my brain still responds to me

 

Next up my endless list

And impossible for me to keep at bay

Is the pain I have to endure

Yet again, every single day

 

But the pain I can cope with

I learned it along the way

It’s the illness that comes along with it

That makes me go astray

 

As often as I thought

I crave for a day without pain

I had this little voice saying to me

Without pain, there is no gain ….

writers' cafe ate my first review. Haven't missed THAT. but I have missed you and your poetry. craving a day without pain. i can so relate to that. This is a strong poem. Not sure why no one has reviewed it. Haven't missed THAT either about the cafe. Those times I feel I'm writing to an empty room....
awesome poetry. peace.

This is a new topic...one that many can relate to. Living with pain is one of the hardest things to endure. Good flow throughout.
