Denial

Denial

The acknowledgement of the pain
of all things in life that are in vain,
to accept that grief is part of your life,
that life is just never-ending strife.
It is too difficult to do
what that seems so inevitable to you.
It is better to reject
what is so easy to neglect-
that pain which harbours deep in our soul,
the grief that is eye-piercing to behold.
The soothing balm that relieves
a wounded heart that so desperately believes-
that there is joy worth beating for,
that the darkness will not consume its bleeding core.
