Within and Without

I have heard
That there is
Pain here
Within and without
Where when alone
It overtakes your
Heart
Soul
Mind
Body
On streets
In bright or
Darkened rooms
Physically
Spiritually
Emotionally
Numbing
Twisting
Desecrating
Stunting
Even camouflaging
Such pain
Jagged ice
Searing
Rammed
Into that hidden crevice
Shattering
Yet
I have heard
That there is hope
I know
I know
I know
Let’s talk
Or just walk
As I smoke
Maybe
We can devise a simple plan
To move beyond
This endless ravine
Where you are now
Awestruck
By
Engulfing
Relentless
Pain
