Pain From The Past Poem by Ray Hansell

Sometimes I keep my feeling
Locked up deep inside
I always keep them there
Where they are safe to hide

Sometimes when I open that door
So much hurt and pain comes out
Some times I don’t understand
What my feelings are all about

I blame myself for my past
When maybe I’m not to blame
But I still do it
Hoping it may ease the pain

I have so much locked inside
I have no tears left to cry
I’ll always remember my past
I often times wonder why
