OCOTBER 20, 2023 POETRY Pain SHANNON FRENCH Groundcover contributor My pain is my pain to share my pain is to share my brain So many windowless memories locked inside my brain, How can I explain the endless rain, you can’t contain what you can’t sustain Sooner or later you have to find a drain to let out the pouring rain, But every drain ain’t a good drain, some people use triggers to ease their pain While others use knifes to slice their veins, I wonder what they saw to make their life change, life is so complex that it’s beyond strange, Others use coke, X, and other amphetamines, I never wanted to hurt myself, I just wanted to forget the pain, So I chose drugs instead of triggers and veins, smokin’ weed and snorting cane I thought I was ahead of the game but it was all the same, I was still killin my brain, So now I use this pen to express my pain, this pain that is so heavy on my brain, If one sleeps the others are left to weep, but if we all sleep, nobody is left to weep, So many lives have been claimed from pain, so please brothers and sisters if you feel the same, find a better way to release your pain….
