Analysis of Pain is Like a Bumpy Road



During a dreadful time in life
throughout the attempts of blocking thoughts
mistakes start pointing out their slots.
Screaming past mental bricks and gates
guilty thoughts begin to hurt and ache.
Knowing no faulty move you made
happened to create crime or hate
doesn't help release the guilt or fears.
Thoughtful time alone with your tears
ruins the only hold you had.
Hardened walls begin to get mad
turning stone into a simple hill.
Hours alone like above break all will
making them deadly to soft holes.
Punish not yourself or your soul
remind the dreadful times in life
bumpy roads do not make your strife.
