Barbed–wire thoughts, thoughts that burn <br />when they are being thought – I don’t have <br />much sympathy with feelings expressed <br /> <br />Because real pain can’t be explained; memories <br />and thoughts that sting can’t be conveyed in <br />simple words; when pain is described <br /> <br />In everyday terms, the pain was made small <br />enough to fit into minuscule verbs; real pain <br />can’t be described; it hurts too much… <br /> <br />The part of the brain that enables us to use <br />symbols like words, sublimates pain and <br />experience before formulation <br /> <br />Real pain remains inside, still undescribed, <br />the real thought that burns can’t be said- <br /> <br />Life is a flight from feelings <br />that burn…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/feelings-life-is-a-flight-from-feelings-that-burn/
