The Joy Of Pain Poem by Elisabeth Wingle

The Joy Of Pain

Rating: 5.0


Pain I know, Joy I don't
You could help
but I know you won't
I live a lie, I run to fast
No one knows about my past
Numb to my feelings
Numb to your lies
You can't even look
Me in the eyes
The universe inside my head
Won't help me now
Get out of this bed
What happens now?
Can you save me.?
Or will I die
From apathy?
Numb to my feelings
Numb to your lies
You can't even
Look me in the eyes
Pain I know, Joy I don't
You could help
But, I know you won't

There is hope in life. If you really want to live and be away from lies. As pain is real so is joy only thing is what is your choice? I got a chance to feel your feelings, you know pain and don't know joy now try the reverse and share how you feel There is joy in doing what is right may be a little hard but not impossible again it is your choice

line 4: " too fast" :) except for the word " apathy" , perhaps, i think this would work well as lyrics to a hit song! ! i like the poem, but i don't see how the title fits it. so what? it got me to take a look. to MyPoemList. next time you visit your surgeon's office, maybe you can give them a sign reading " The Joy Of Pain" to put on their waiting room wall? bri :)

Life is a roller coaster ride of joy and pain. Once up you must go down. It is better to enjoy the both and live life as it comes your way. Thanks very much for posting such a beautiful poem.
