Pain makes me seek a refuge,

In the safety of your arms,

Like the strong branches,

Of an ancient oak tree,

Shielding me from the dark whispers,

Of the rest of this harsh, cruel world,

A fearless guardian,

In the quiet of the forest's embrace.

Your touch,

Gentle as a cool autumn breeze,

Yetso strong,

Like a needle and thread,

Weaving through the torn fabric of my being,

Stitching together the ...

It came as fast as a gun shot all in one moment I closed the car door and instantly

A throbbing pain came I felt faint and nauseous

Mom can around the car and asked if I was ok

I wasn’t I starting crying wishing for the pain to go away

—————

I slammed my middle finger in the car door and sprained it 😁

it still hurts really bad but im ok im talking a break from writting till its healed...

Push me to the ground

And run over my bones.

I’ll get up broken with cracks

And thank you.

Kill me with your words

And take away my dignity

I’ll cry and for the truth

I thank you.

Use me like a puppet

And tear off all my limbs

In my broken state all I can do

Is thank you.

Make me dependent on you

When my pain becomes to much

All I know to do

Is thank you.

Break me to the point

There’s nothing ...

Little worry stone

I wear you down until you are nothing

But dust and pebbles in my palm

Like a nicotine addict I use up

All that’s left of you

To remedy my own disorder

Reducing your fire to smoke and ash

I know I have made you a habit

And I want to pull away and let you be

Let you flourish far from my shadow

But pain makes me seek refuge

And I have come to think of your arms as a steeple

O...

Sadness remains my constant companion,

an unwelcome visitor sitting by my side,

a relentless stalker lurking around every corner.

Loneliness is my faithful follower,

the quiet rider sitting in the passenger seat.

It has become the shadow I cannot escape from.

Enjoyment in everyday life is a stranger,

someone I used to know but lost touch with long ago,

a face I would not recognize from all the o...

Days can pass

And I feel nothing

No joy

No sorrow

Just going through my routine

Then it hits

Anxiety

Loss

At least it

Is something

To hold on to

Pain makes me seek refuge ...

Pain comes from so many places. From the ones you love and the ones you dislike. Should pain hurt us at all? It’s just an abstract feeling. Just an algorithm in our brain. Can we reframe the pain to be nothing or even pleasure. Could pain be our pleasure so we no longer retreat but embrace the bad times, the bad people, the bad words and know that ultimately you can’t really have the pleasure with...

I wasn’t searching for nothing,

Nothing indeed.

Not a person nor a place,

Then I stumbled upon you.

A broken mess,

Scattered every which way

I picked up the pieces

Formed a beautiful confidence

At expense, my happiness.

Pain makes me seek a refuge

Behind the pools of color,

Your eyes alight with fire

Hatred for me and the actions I’ve done,

Giving me all hell,

I leave you alone.

...

Pain makes me seek a refuge

From the people in my room

Pain makes me seek a refuge

From the harsh and cold wind

Pain makes me seek a refuge

From the cruel, crude world

Pain makes me seek a refuge

From the voices from within ...

Pain makes me seek a refuge

A cuddle with my favorite dogs gives me just that

Listening to my favorite music helps refocus my mind

A talk with a good friend reminds me of how blessed I am...
