Keep Pain From Reaching The Heart Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I learned today that we don’t really feel pain
It’s really in our brain
And I learned that if we could stop the pain signals from reaching the cerebrum
Then we will never have to experience the pain that comes
What if we could do that with a broken heart?
Stop the heartache from going that far
That way it would never reach
And there would be no more days of crying yourself to sleep
What if we could go back in time?
And STOP all of our arguing
Stop all of the lies
Prevent all that we regret
And never let
Things go that deep
What if we had the power to do all of those things?
I mean think about it
If we can stop pain signals from reaching the brain
Than why can't we stop the heart from receiving pain?
And if we could
Would we?
Or would we just leave things be?
Cause if you change things you would never know what things could've been
But if you don't then you have to deal with a broken heart that you have to mend
If we could stop pain signals from reaching the brain
I hope that there’s a way
That we could stop those signals from reaching the heart
And we would never again have to feel that pain
or ever recieve the scar
