A Personal Poem

Pain

We all feel it at some point

Some more than others

But it’s there, lingering

Pain watches us

And waits

Like wolves waiting for prey to feast on

It can come in waves

Or sometimes it decides to stay for a while

When pain arrives

We fight

Hoping that it will soon go away

In pain’s eyes,

We are the enemy,

It fights

Hoping that we will soon go away

Both sides fight

But we thrive

We turn the pain into power,

We win

And even though it will come again eventually,

We know that we have the strength to conquer

the pain.
