TRUE PAIN

What does

True pain

Feel like?

Some say

It is

A sharp

Stabbing sensation.

Others

A hot,

Dull

Feeling.

True pain

Is neither.

True pain

Is a

Numbness,

An emptiness,

Nothingness.

To feel

Detached

From all,

To feel

Like you’re

A lonely

Stone

In the

Streams

Of life.

To feel

Meaningless,

To feel

Duty-less,

To feel

Misunderstood

But most

Of all

To feel

Isolated.

To feel

All the good

That you’ve

Done is

Outweighed

By a few

Bad

Days.

To die

A thousand

Times.

That is

True pain.

THE TIME TOLLS FOR US ALL

The clock tolls

One.

A man

Sits on the

Cliff edge.

Contemplating

As men do.

All that

Is.

All that

Was.

All that

Will be.

The clock tolls

Two.

The man

Rises.

His feet.

Bloody,

Overworked.

He thinks

Of his

Family,

His friends,

His mistakes.

The clock tolls

Three.

The man weeps.

Weeps for

His children,

His broken

Promises

How much

They’ve grown.

The clock tolls

Four.

He paces

Back and forth.

Wonders about

The pieces.

The failed

Relationships,

The petty

Fights,

The silly

Little things.

The clock tolls

Five.

Ring, ring

Ringing

In his

Clattered mind.

The clock tolls

Six.

He screams

To the heavens

For a sign.

An empty

Sky.

No reply.

The clock tolls

Seven.

The man

Feels forsaken.

Unwanted.

Unknown.

Ignored.

Useless.

The clock tolls

Eight.

The man

Looks to the

Skies.

Admires the

Beauty

Of the night.

The stars.

The moon.

The silence.

The clock tolls

Nine.

The man
