Pain Ends

Love this poem, most of us go through our minds taking over in a negative way at some point in life, not just the young, all ages go through our thoughts that play over and over in our minds, negative thoughts are so life draining, so strong, but we can all be over-comers of all situations, feelings and heart aches, seems we usually come out of this darkness so much stronger with empathy and compassion for others because we've been there. I have come to realize we can be our own worse enemy, our own worse critic. I believe this might be a journey of self struggle we all need to go through on our own as we gain true wisdom about life, we also learn how to lift others up, by doing so we finally understand that it's okay, no-one is perfect, it's okay to fall, it's okay we have flaws, weaknesses, faults, we're human. We also have strengths, we're all on a journey through life, there's no experts on life, life is tough, tougher for some that makes some even stronger. Powerful Poem!

There is a lot of freedom and promises of strength in this poem. I am coming to grips with the ending of a 47-year marriage with a man who has decided he 'wants something different'. It is a very painful time for me. Marriage is forever in my book, sacred and to be worked at and improved on over the years. The problem is that both partners need to work at making marriage a success. I need to love enough to let go.

This poem is really inspiring. I had been in this situation before that I was really down and didn't have any confidence in myself. I even questioned if I was a good mother of my girls. As I am reading this poem, it made me cry, and reading the stories helps me in lifting my spirits. Luckily, I have an amazing husband who understands me.

I love this poem. This is inspirational and lifts my spirits up. Last year had been a horrible year for me. I have been in a very low spirits indulging in self-hatred. After reading this poem, I think I can "put all my negative thoughts in a jar" and I have the feeling that "everything will be all right." I shall be reading this poem every day.

I'd like to start by saying that this poem has inspired my middle school students. I'm a Literature teacher in Mexico, and every year we read poems from different sources. This year I wanted to provide the class with a contemporary poem, and I found this wonderful poem. My students decided to use it for a project. They made visual interpretations of different poems. One of the chosen ones was "Pain Ends."

I really love this poem. It is so uplifting and light. Just reading it gives the feeling of unloading all burdens. It is soul refreshing. There is so much negativity in the world today, and it can be contagious and toxic to so many people, especially people struggling already with just life in general. Thank you for sharing!

This was a great poem! I love how it encourages the reader to love themselves, forgive themselves, and release all negative thoughts.

I hope you still are writing this kind of poem. I am a "solitary guy" who used to be an ''over-thinker," so I really feel myself in the poem. It's like you were talking to me, and I speak for everyone when I say that this can really touch hearts that are confused and trapped.

This poem touched my heart.
"Breathe in the fresh air,
Put your mind at ease.
Let down your hair,
Let it flow in the breeze."
These lines are really beautiful, and now I'm feeling motivated. Every word in the poem is like the "cool air having sweet aroma" gone through my heart.

This poem is the result of introspection and looking forward. This poem speaks to many people who feel the same way about themselves, and this author has captured the spirit of courage to move forward, not allowing others' negative messages to be the factor in personal change. Bravo! Compliments have power to help heal, and insults can hurt if we allow them to.
