My Body Hid a Secret Hardback

Heartbeat poem

  • Pain
                                                    
    I ride the wave, reaching a crescendo before breaking
    Every wave is consistent yet different, always making
    Me feel like I want to run away; but stay I must
    For the pain is a friend to embrace and trust
    Learn to ride and go with the flow
    Enjoy the pain and take the tow
    I have learnt to ride because the wave will fold
    And the pain will leave and deposit some gold
    When the next wave crashes by
    I have gained some strength with which to try
    To ride again another day
    For each wave that’s ridden makes a way
    Leaves treasure and resolve within my heart
    Pains healing touch helps me to start

    To live life again
