Hidden Pain Poem, by Jeff, at My poetic side

I fight hate with every breath

concealed in self-control

Beneath the surface Evil haunts

the peace within my soul

These tortured thoughts which fill my head

are tearing me apart

From deep within I feel the pain

of questions in my heart

My peace of mind is faltering

but how long shall it last

Before I relive all the pains

within my tortured past

The battle rages inwardly

to mask constant deceit

Transformations of the soul

are all but incomplete

I'm stuck between the man I am

and who I use to be

My attempts at peace are useless

since I'm bound by misery

All the terrors and the pain

have finally taken hold

As I fight hate with every breath

concealed in self-control

Hidden Pain
