Paper Cut

a paper cut,
inevitable no matter how hard you try to avoid them,
everyone knows the pain of it,
yet someone else gets one and you say its only a small cut only hurts a small bit.
when looking at someone you never would never know they have one unless they told you,
it is easy to hide the pain you feel, 
its what we all do.
soon enough that pain disappears,
you never even notice when its gone,
you never sit and think about what gave you that cut you just move on.
what if you cant,
what if its all you think about. 
what if you still have a scar from the paper cut not letting you live without.
when you wake up, when you sleep,
you think about what has cut you so deep.
yet again no one sees that paper cut in you,
nobody knows that pain it has put you through.
you know what I’m talking about,
that feeling when your heart drops into your gut.
have you ever had a paper cut ?
