THE PAIN - by Ken M Ackerman





THE  PAIN


by  Ken M Ackerman


I can put on a smile,
Or laugh until I can't breathe,
But it just doesn't matter,
It's always with me.


I can talk on the phone,
Or be with my friends,
It seems it will be there,
Until the very end.


I can sleep at night,
And from outside it may not seem
As if it is there,
But it is in my dreams.


I hear it in every song,
I see it in every face,
It is winning over happiness,
In my life's race...


The race towards death.
Will I die happy,
Or die sad,
With it still in me?


It's cursing my life,
Making it harder each day,
No matter what I do,
It never goes away.


It is the pain,
Scarring my heart,
And it seems it is always here,
Making my life hard.
