Life in Me.

It’s this pain
that boils in my veins,
that gives life to me,
the energy to live every day.

At times it hurts so much,
keeping vengeance and grudges,
at times it’s beautiful
watching them in their caskets at funerals.

Life has served me
with so much agony,
taught me to make lemonades
after turning my oranges into lemons.

It is this pain
that drives my struggle,
this pain that
tears away love and leave me cold.

Pain defines
my life,
pump the rage within
and gives rise to me.

It turns weakness
Into shear greatness
turns my wounds of loss
Into ploughed back profits.
