Pain
Pain,
Why does it always feel so wrong,
So far from peaceful, never strong.
Â
Always there, that endless ache,
Why canât I just be, for my own sake.
Â
They say you always have a choice,
Many paths, so raise your voice.
Â
Do I choose to stay the victimâs way,
Or gather myself and face the day.
Â
Do I take the power from that âdirtyâpain,
And use it to feel whole again.
Â
To feel content, to truly shine,
instead of drowning in pain all the time.

I dedicate this poem to my father Jo, born on August 1, 1947.
Sadly, my father is no longer with us, but he will always hold a special place close to my heart <3
I would also like to draw special attention to the writer Jopie Breemer.
Jopie Breemer is not particularly known for his literary works, but rather for being the heart of Amsterdamâs Bohemian scene in the first decade of the 20th century.
His modest dwelling, affectionately called âthe Jopieholâ, was a lively meeting place for artists, scientists, and writers from all walks of life.
There, people recited poetry, sang, debated, gossiped, flirted and all under the quiet guidance of a most entertaining host.
With a gently mocking comment, Jopie could calm even the fiercest tempers.
He never served alcohol, only water, milk, and above all, tea.
Wouldnât it be something if we could call the countries at war and ask if they'd trade their disputed lands for a âJopieholâ instead.
In remembrance of all war victims. <3
If only it were that simple.
I would much rather have a Jopiehol...
Hi there, probably not unexpected𤣠I like the honesty of these lines and yes, share some of the questions. I think this might help you to heal, as you know it does for me. Yes, we could use a "Jopiehol" on every corner of every street of the world. Use the words to feel your pain and use the flow of the words to "evict" the pain (meaning listen/feel the rhythm of the sentence, it helps keep the flow of emotions coming, essing all issues in the end). Dad's surprised by this "line of action"... Wont see u out at the office any longer but hopefully we meet often on Cosmo... Keep it up
Hi John,Â
Thank you so much. I secretly hoped you would respond and at the same time, I didnât really expect it anymore. Â
Itâs a shame we wonât see each other at the office again. I always found our conversations so interesting and meaningful. Â
And yes, I get what you mean about the flow of the words. I noticed it too while writing. I just didnât think I had it in me. After all, this was only my second post. When I look back at my first one⌠I find it kind of embarrassing. Letâs just say: Not even the dogs would want to chew on that one đ Â
Thanks again for your thoughtful reply, it means a lot!
With love, CindyÂ
