Can you even imagine the pain?

Can you even imagine the pain, 
That greets me in the morn',
The pain that trickles down my face, 
The pain that makes my soul worn?

The pain that interrupts my sleep, 
The pain that dulls my eyes, 
Can you even imagine the pain, 
The pain you don't recognize?

Can you even imagine the pain,
That breaks my heart in two, 
The pain that forces my head down, 
The pain that hides from view?

The pain that steals my smile, 
The pain that blocks my throat, 
Can you even imagine the pain,
The pain that makes me float?

I felt this through and through; some things - feelings, emotions, experiences -can only ever be comprehended, not understood if you have never been in the position of the person experiencing them.
