A Kind of Pain
sick with a pain you cant feel
a pain you want to go away but cant heal
a cough so desperate for air
eyes pleading for all the help you can spare
but no nothing can help this pain
this pain you cant even restrain
its like a monster that hides in shadows
ready to kill at any time or place
a cold heart this monster holds
thats how i feel when my monster unfolds
cold hearted
from a place now departed
quiet as the wind
a place i no longer defend
so y do i even pretend
that this place has an expiration date
this is a pain everyone should hate
but not everyone feels this type of way
a pain not permanent but a temporary stay
something you want to get rid of but it takes its time
its not going to go away like a drop of a dime
i wish but everyone can keep wishing
its not a pain i will be missing
a tear i no longer cry
a story?? i will no longer lie
my past brings me this type of feeling
my strength and happiness its stealing
each day i try and pick myself up and in return
this pain tries to walk back like its concerned
but i laugh at this pain in its face
it aint going to make me look like a disgrace
