Suffering

I know this pain won't
last forever,
but then again maybe
it will.
Mind over body
maybe
But as I look out
the sill;
from my bed tears begin
to form.
I must be
stronger,
yet I am more
worn.
The words of fellow
poets
Caress my heart.
Another mountain
to climb
And I know it.
My spine screeches at me
Shut up brain.
but I will not listen
It is insane.
Always push forward
Chin up
Eyes ahead.
You have many more
roads to travel,
HE said.

YOu are right..the pain wont last forever.
Often distractions help to pass time as
the pain fades. Feelings well conveyed.

You did right to put your feelings to words. The moment you start writing the process of healing begins. Who can better understand your feelings than poets, who feel the same?! Frustration never lasts for long, it is not in human nature, not in poets' nature in any case. We move forward with every word we write - towards better end, towards getting over another mountain.
