Pain is necessary. Suffering is optional.

Contributed by jyssvw22 on Sunday, 19th June 2005 @ 01:49:46 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



I wish I could just go away
Leave my body behind
Leave my mind
In normalcy
Without this obvious
Transparent and artificial
Emotional thinking

Emotive, the tears streaming
Cry myself a song
The night alone is misleading
If only I had a hand to hold
To dance around and stroll
To pull closer
Let the night take control
Let the moonlight guide us
To the secret path untold

I am a monster
A flare for the dramatic
Its my profession to show empathy
I refuse to be sympathetic
Yet I fuel the flame
And make things problematic
By opening this hole
The deterioration is systematic

First the misuse
Then the greed sets in
Thirsty for attention
The spot light shines
The video tape rewinds
In three, two, one,
You are on live

Monster??? Umm no. Sorry I just don't buy it...You'll find true love one day. I'm sure of it, and she'll see right through your apparent 'evilness...' Love this poem though!!

I suppose if you fan the flames of pain for others you can expect to be left alone without love. So suffering for you is optional. You either change the way you treat others and find love, or continue being the evil pain maker and be forever alone. Good poem.

Pretty good write. Really felt the first three lines and last five lines with deep compacity.
