Painful Life

About the pain of abuse.



The pain is so intolerable at times
It seems there is no way out.
When will my life seem worth living again
I have to stop the fear and the doubt.

I never feel like getting up anymore,
The days and nights blend into one.
Is that a bit of light that I see
Or just another fight the other guy won?

Simple pleasures no longer exist,
The toil of each day never fades.
Just when I think I might be feeling all right,
Another dilemma appears into which I must wade.

What did I do to deserve all of this?
What terrible thing did I happen to cause?
It seems I will pay for the rest of my life
For whatever my deadly mistake was.

I’m ready to end all the pain and torment
For which on a daily basis I pay.
No more can I deal with the guilt and the hate
It stays with me during each long, endless day.

Once I saw what I thought was a break,
A bit of a smile on my lips.
It quickly faded when my memory returned.
Once again into my heart the pain rips.

The pain and the anguish is always so strong, and
Though I hope someday to suffer no more,
No one will ever fully realize my life
Has been one bloody, un-bandaged sore.

Abuse is one thing that for one who has experienced it to over come as the pain is more than just physcial. Your write shows this hidden pain with your mind and soul and only holding tight to friends and those who love will help with the pain, does it ever leave I think not,
thanks for sharing on such a horrible subject of ABUSE

I hope someday you will outgrow those sores. Powerful emotions.

there is no call for abuse; and i feel for those who have to endure it, whether physical, emotional, or mental. i have been there, and i still feel the pain years later! (not so much physical, but mentally and emotionally. i still have nightmares years later because of it.)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in tx., karen lynn. :(
