What is this pain?

Pain.

Eating at my insides.

Consuming all my days.

What is this pain?

This pain I can't contain.

This pain that won't go away.

This monster that's seeming to stay.

This demon I can't keep at bay.

I thought it was all okay.

That soon it would go away.

I hope that wasn't a mistake.

I hope I won't dearly pay.

For ignoring this terrible pain.

expressive

You have expressed the message that there is an (unknown to the reader) pain that you have been doing battle with off and on there seems to be some element missing in this poem perhaps if the reader were to know the cause of the pain or maybe not that deep , but to know how you plan to deal with the situation all you have stated was there is a pain ok , but that is leaving a loose end I should think Chrys

I have been...

...dealing with some pain lately and I don't know what it is so the loose ends must be tied when I find out. Lacy, Where power corrupts,poetry cleanses.

Familiar

This pain that you speak of seems familiar to me. In my case it is Bipolar Disorder type II. For years I referred to it (and still do, in some work) as an unexplainable ache, a monster, a demon. There was always conflict involved. Although this may seem enigmatic to some, to others it will hit spot-on. ~ Ronda
