Understanding Pain
The pain in me is searing I feel it in my chest A blade of pure misery Carved from cruel intent The pain batters my mind Like waves on an isolated rock My brain shuts down It can’t take the shock But these painful hurts Are cries within me I need to listen to them Continue reading

Life is a set of problems Constantly being brought to you A kaleidoscope of spinning colours An unsolvable Rubik’s cube A sea of ever-changing variables A puzzle that fights back Getting one colour in place Puts the whole thing out of whack But in God’s hands The spinning colours fall into place Our earthly efforts Continue reading

Disappointment
