Pain

It comes to me every day
Greets me like an old friend
Some mornings it will not let me rise

Twenty years now it’s beckoned me

Though each movement hurts I will not give in
I will not be broken by its weight

At times it has drawn me deep into its lugubrious hole
but now I’ve grown quite accustomed to its ubiquity now

It’s mine not to offer
It’s mine to keep

The pathos only I feel I share through lament
God, how my emotions run empty at times

To go back now is only possible in dreams
Sleep when it comes brings relief

Changes come quickly; like the weather

It feels easier now.
