The pain I feel within,
Will never leave me.
I understand now,
What the people say,
When you are struck with it,
It’s here to stay.
I understand now,
That each of us will have it,
No one gets away from it,
The pain pierced to inhabit.
I understand now,
Those shallow eyes we see,
Behind the brightest smile,
That peace will never be.
I understand now,
The children on their own,
The parents without their kids,
It makes you feel alone.
I understand now,
Life works in ways,
We may never understand,
But better come are days.
I understand now,
That within the mercy of the heart,
We pray and seek and shout,
It tears us apart.
I understand now,
The sadness in the songs,
The lyrics so gentle,
But ultimately so strong.
I understand now,
Grief does never leave,
No matter the days gone by,
It acts just like a thief.
I understand now,
That I will never be,
The naive girl,
That felt so young and free.
I understand now,
What it means to love so hard,
That you’re so afraid,
You hold so near your cards.
I understand now,
The grief they talk of slow,
For its presence,
Begins and never goes.
I understand now,
What it means to be alive,
And how we can never
Stop, but have to thrive.
I understand now,
The pain that courses deep,
How that cripples,
When all we can do is weep.
I understand now,
The beauty of the past,
How it keeps us still,
If we don’t fight back.
I understand now,
How strong I’m meant to be,
When fear and pain is all I feel,
But I will not be on my knee.
I understand now,
How to live,
And laugh and smile again,
Because this pain is within me now,
I’ve nothing but to gain.
I understand now,
How happiness feels,
how quick it can be gone,
I’ll never stop loving,
To do that would be wrong.
I understand now,
That it’s come to be,
This pain I feel within,
Will never leave me.
But I’m ok with that,
I’ve learnt to live unheard,
Because the pain within drives me,
Best believe I feel assured.
