The Pain has Lifted

By: Tracey Criswell Wilson


For years I have tried
to hide pain inside
of me.

Wearing a false smile
for the world to see
a lie.

Trying hard to stay
away from others
alone.

My bed calls to me,
crawl in forever
and stay.

How nice it would be,
but it can't be so,
not now.

I must face the pain
and let it all out,
somehow.

Write down what happened
through out all my life,
and read.

Face what I'm hiding,
inside for so long,
to see.

To open my eyes,
will open my heart,
release.

It is very good
to get it all out,
freedom.

Pain is easier
facing it up front,
than not.

Talking about it
really helps a lot
for me.

Now I'm happier,
weight is now lifted
off me.

It feels good to laugh
and really mean it,
all smiles.
