Pain
Pain is real
it takes your breath
Brings more feelings
you think of death
Would it be better
to rot in the dirt
Or live with the pain
on the hem of your skirt.
The life that you live
is excruciating at best
But it's okay now
it's time to rest
Waking again
to a real feeling
Coping, hoping
sleeping, dealing
Pain is real
pain is your friend
That's how you know
know that this isn't the end.
Pain is your friend.
Sadness will help you mend.
Heartbreak is your date.
Misery is your fate.
Hate starts to creep.
Rage takes away sleep.
Insanity knocks on the door.
Violence pushes you to the floor.
Silence follows you around.
Tears are the only sound.
Hurt sets in to burn.
Sickness takes its turn.
Guilt twists inside.
Face it...you cant hide.
