The Elements of Pain
depression
is driving 95
trying to convince yourself
not to swerve past the white line
sadness
is sitting in solitude
listening to a song
that tries to make you cut yourself
....and succeeds
anger
is being naive
and trusting someone
until you realize the deceit
heartbreak
is being in love
that comes to a screeching halt
but never stops hurting
how else could you spell pain?
