Pain is a beastly companion-- never welcome and seldom willing to leave quickly. This poem seems to end in a deadly conclusion--pain leads to death. This is well-written, stays on topic, and is free of spelling errors.
Best wishes.

Couldn't get any more explicit than that on what pain is. The question the doctor always asks when I go in for an appointment is "What is your pain level today?" The next time that happens I will say "Roaring out of control."

Nicely done.

This poem, The Power of Pain, shows this world as a house of pain in which we survive by moving through it and finishing the struggle undeterred.

Through excellent use of personification and metaphors, your vividly descriptive poem conveys a powerful message about pain and what it can do to our very beings.

Pain can seer through the body physically and mentally and coping with it is sometimes hard on our senses. Good health is so important and your poem is powerful and vivid with an ultimately deathly end, love Dolly x

You certainly capture without sentiment the many manifestations of pain and the experience of on one's life. I like your keeping it in the present tense

The author's words are engaging, powerful, interesting, descriptive and creative. I pondered on the way pain hurts! The author's description was
intense, strong and painful. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome! Have a great weekend!...Maria

I enjoyed reading this poem. It conveys the fury of pain, but I failed to find you. You champion everyday over this volcanic crater. You have written beautiful lines about the human struggle for survival. God's blessings.

    Thank you for reviewing. Appreciated. But you were not meant to find 'me', as it is for universal application, however each individual experiences pain. I wrote it like that on purpose ....

    Thanks for your response. Mine was just a personal reaction. I felt there was much more behind the writer

A highly descriptively purposeful poem, centralising the pain of pain, the pain of heartbreak, discouragement and loss of faith, very disheartening, this is a great write, dictating the horror of a depressed and hapless but nor hopeless path, well done, blessings Roy
