PAIN HAS MANY FACES

PAIN HAS MANY FACES

Pain has many faces, as you will come to realize

Pain is not our cross to bear and it cannot be disguised

The pain that you question is something only we will feel

This “invisible” pain nobody can see, yet some argue to say it is not real

Pain has many voices and it speaks loudly only to us each night

Pain takes away our choices; we lose our freedom and our rights

Pain will have many faces, and many voices will be heard too

And, those that can’t hear the voices of pain are intentionally blocking the sounds coming through

We cannot let our pain control us, or the thoughts others choose to keep

Pain will keep us up at night, rousing us from our sleep

Pain is not our only label, and when we finally speak to you

Remember, it's the pain that gave us courage to fight, and a warrior's heart that will never lose….

Angels, never give up when faced with pain or ignorance from others.  They should walk in our shoes....I would gladly trade mine for 15 minutes of freedom.....Stop judging others on what you can't see...and understand and learn from what you do see.....
