The Wonder of the Mind

Throbbing, piercing, perpetual pain Is enough to drive anyone insane Constant pain that does not ease. Nothing seems to appease, Pain. Pain that is so bad. You cannot walk, It takes away your desire to talk, You want the pain to go away What else is there you can say, Pain engulfs you against your will, It is a cruel and bitter pill, It dulls your thinking and your mind, And that is a pain of a different kind. It takes away your joy in living, Always accepting, seldom giving. A constant companion, unfortunately Who has become an enemy? It makes you think that nobody cares, As they appear to be unaware, Of this ache that's so unforgiving That is part of your daily living But deep down, you know they do They wish they could share the pain with you. As this can never be They can help you verbally By telling you they understand And offering a helping hand By being compassionate and kind It may help to ease the pain And do wonders for the mind.
