Dear Pain,
Within you, there are claws.
You'll never know the hurt you cause.
You make it hard to see the light.
Day by day it's harder to fight.
Every day, I start to cry.
No matter how hard I always try,
it always feels as if you've won.
I still continue to not be done.
Because of the pain,
it feels like there's rain.
It's making me drown
but I try not to be down.
I continue to fight
knowing I'll be alright.
It will take time
but I'll be just fine.
Sincerely, Me

Poetry that rhymes seems to be out of fashion since forever, and I hate that! GIVE ME MORE RHYMING POEMS! This one has a lovely rhythm, it almost sounds cheerful except the content really isn't. Jarring and clever.
Nicely done, not that pain is nice.
This is excellent, and I could see this being a Top Story, I know many people that suffer like this, and you have captures this brilliantly in your words
