Painful Writing

sonnet #11
painful writing

living can be through introspection
searching for the meaning in my life
yet this does not imply perfection
pleasure versus pain is still in strife

i am in growing and creating
in the making ever unfinished
the writer prevented from writing
life passing by not truly engaged

pain prevents me from writing freely
and then i write to escape the pain
still needed by someone uniquely
for together we have smelt the rain

when there is nothing left to explore
being opens up in death a door
