Through The Pain Poem by Wilma Horne

Through The Pain



Everyday of my life
I put on a smile
So my friends wont see how much i hurt
I hurt so much and i wish
I wish you could see it
But you are fooled by my smile

If you would only notice
How i really feel
Then maybe my life could be spared
But i feel so alone
That i dont know what to do

As i lie awake in my bed
Pondering whether my life is worth living anymore
I begin to think of you
And in that moment i realize
Just how messed up my life really is
You were supposed to be my saving grace
But all you really are is the cause of this pain

You were supposed to care
But you threw it out the window
You rarely speak to me
And i wonder if i did or said something wrong
But then i realize that it wasnt my fault
It was you all along

I should be better now that you're gone
But i'm only worse
Cause i know how much you mean to me
and i cant get it back
You said that you wish i would die
Well you're gettin your wish

I reach for the pills
Then i stop to REALLY think:
Is it really worth it?
My answer is NO
So i get up and throw them out
And head to the phone and i make a call
to my real saving grace
A person who has been there for me through it all
She knows what i'm going through cuz she's been there too
And i realize through the pain
You mean nothing at all
