“I’ve got to live in pain”
An often heard sad refrain 

Stuck in the mud of despair 
Try to breathe some fresh air 

Some say just grin and bear it
Look at my heart your words tear it

Desperate search for solution 
Leads to continued confusion

Trapped with no place to go
Waiting to meet  the death blow

To some that’s a cause for hilarity 
For victims it’s a tragic reality

No one deserves such a fate
But sadly some victims can’t wait

There are many ways 
To break through the haze

But your mind has to pause and be steady
And desire and your will must be ready

You can’t do it alone so pick up
your phone
Break the stuck stone
Your chance to ease pain now begins

There is help and support out there
Research can make you aware

True it’s trial and error 
But can lesson the terror 

You’ll know with your trial you 
you’ll see
That your effort has no guarantees 

But your effort alone 
Can soften that stone and lead you where your want to go

What ‘s vividly true it’s all up to you
To start on this challenging path

Others have done it-so instead of just sitting why not just give it a try 

It’s possible too when we next hear from you
You’ve got your new wings and you fly

    Maurice it looks that you try to compose couplets but sudden you write three lines stanzas then switch on to quadruple lines. I know that space provided to us in mobile phones may put five or six words in a line then next word shifts automatically to next line. your ideas are good to read your feelings. You wrote there: But your effort alone can soften that stone and led you where your want to go. Here you would correct- where you want to go. Further you crossed a word there - what the impression is there you know only. perhaps you use laptop or desktop in your drafts. I prefer mobile for recording poem but I use laptop for recording or type writing a story but feel troubles in uploading a picture in the comment box. When browse a text then last line or finishing point is hidden there and I don't know that there is facility of print button or not. After all you interwoven beautiful ideas in the poem.
