Within The Pain


I ride this horse of pain and wish it would throw me off
But no it clings to my buttocks like suction cups
Holding me with arms of lust for the pain I take it loses
This pain has no name but is like a creature from hell
God help I scream
God help I pray
But always to no avail
Why I ask
Why not I hear
Drugs not longer work
Drinks no longer work
What am I to do
I could end it all
But that is no end
That is just death
So I go on living with my pain
Knowing that it is better here with pain that dead not knowing if the pain would be worse
Dilemmas'
Always
Dilemmas'...
