The Pain

The Pain
  Written by Melissa Pantall Hall


I forgot how much pain can consume a person.
How much a person would do just to make the pain go away. 
Does it actually go away or does it heal in time? 
Does pushing it away make pain stronger and last longer and longer? 
Can you hide from pain, or turn it off?
It would be nice if you could. 
Turn it off, and not grow colder, more bitter, and worn. 
Push through it, only to find that it is stronger than before. 
Pain, 
A feeling a person must face and a lesson a person must take. 
If only to be happy inside and live life only to find pain once more. 
Pain will not be easier this time, 
At least in my mind.
