Title: Pain Inside

Written by: Phillip McMillan

Behind the poem: I wrote this poem on Monday, April 15th. Another time of depression. This poem doesn't rhyme but not all poems rhyme anyway so there ya go.

These feelings run through me
Why must they be a constant
They pass through me
Every passing they hurt
They hurt me deeper than anything
I can't explain, it's pain within me
Not physical, but emotional
One moment everything's a blank
Another, it's all a mess of pain
Just trying to deal
Trying to rearrange my life
Why must I feel like this
Things could have been different
But they turned out so bad
No way to turn
Only towards the ground
The choice is made
I must accept
Though my heart will not accept it
My mind will try
It's hard to live with all these feelings
Feelings that I wish I could express
Just so hard
All this pain
Deep inside
Never letting go
I am left with emptiness
No where to turn
No where to go
I stare blankly as I think
The pain passes through again
And with it comes the pain
